Kumar, who is making a return to the ring after a 20-year hiatus since his last fight in 2004, confirmed he is prepared for the 4×3 event. “I have been training for a month now and feel great, and I will give my best shot,” he stated.
Mohammed Shameem, the director of South Pacific Boxing Promotion, highlighted the significance of this event for local boxers to showcase their skills. He noted, “We have organized three IBO sanctioned fights, which is unprecedented in Fiji, and we are committed to supporting local talent.”
Shameem also mentioned the potential for a larger event next May if everything goes well.
