Fijian boxer Junior Binnu Singh is preparing for the most significant fight of his career as he takes on Australia’s Runqi Zhou for the WBA Oceania Super Bantamweight title this Saturday at the Zeg Kings Boxing Promotions event. The bout will be held at the Vodafone Arena in Suva, marking a historic moment as it will be the first WBA title fight ever hosted in Fiji.
Singh, who has impressed with a record of 12 wins and just one loss, expressed confidence in his preparations, stating, “Preparation has been really good. We’ve been training hard and everything’s going well.” His training camp has been intensive, as he aims to showcase his skills and determination in the ring.
Zhou, who previously faced the late Ubayd Haider, has generated significant attention following his past performance in Fiji. Many fans have drawn comparisons between the two fighters, but Singh remains unfazed by the speculation. He emphasizes that each fighter is unique and that he is focused on his own game plan: “For me, what happened with Nathan or any other fighter doesn’t matter — this is boxing. I’m mentally strong and focused, and I’m looking forward to the fight.”
Ahead of the match, Singh has urged his supporters to attend the event, promising to put on a show for Fiji. He sees this opportunity as not only a personal endeavor but also a chance to uplift Fijian boxing and honor his late friend, Haider. The event, featuring a card full of undercard bouts, invites the community to witness a night filled with excitement and competitive spirit.
The match will be streamed live on FBC’s pay-per-view website, reflecting the growing interest in boxing within Fiji and supporting the promise of a bright future for local talents in the sport. As the anticipation builds, the fight represents a significant step forward, potentially paving the way for more international boxing events in Fiji and inspiring young fighters across the nation.
