Fiji super featherweight champion Mikaele Ravalaca is set for a showdown against New Zealand’s Ross Malthus for the Professional Boxing Commission (PBC) New Zealand super featherweight title on July 19 at Suva’s Vodafone Arena. This exciting match was confirmed by Kings Boxing Promotion promoter Nahroon Buksh, who promises an explosive encounter.
Ravalaca’s opponent, Malthus, boasts a victory over top featherweight boxer Zain Adams, further raising the stakes for this anticipated title fight. Last year, Adams secured a win against Fiji’s featherweight champion Junior Binnu Singh in Suva, solidifying the competitive environment of the boxing scene.
The collaboration between KBP and PBCNZ has facilitated this thrilling opportunity to showcase premier talent, as expressed by PBCNZ president Ioana Schwalger, who emphasized their commitment to supporting this significant event.
Notably, this match will be featured as the main undercard for the Fiji heavyweight title fight between champion James ‘The Beast’ Singh and challenger Semi Dauloloma, a highly competitive rematch. This bout, marking their fourth encounter, holds gravity as each fighter has a victory over the other, and their last fight ended in a no contest.
Buksh has indicated ongoing negotiations with international boxing organizations, hinting at more exciting matches on the horizon for Ravalaca and the boxing community.
The buildup to this event signals a positive and vibrant future for boxing in Fiji, as talent and opportunities continue to flourish in the sport. This contest not only stands to elevate Ravalaca’s career but also serves as a platform to inspire aspiring boxers in Fiji. Fans eagerly await what promises to be a night of unforgettable boxing action.
