Super welterweight boxer Junior Saula is set to make his return to the ring after a two-year hiatus. The 29-year-old will compete on Saturday in the 70kg weight category as part of the South Pacific Boxing Promotion at Subrail Park in Labasa.
“I feel it’s time to break out of my shell and showcase my potential,” Saula stated from Labasa. “This fight marks my comeback after being away for two years.”
Saula is set to face Natewa Bay rookie, Kali Vakalalabure, in a six-round match. Throughout his career, Saula has participated in four professional fights, achieving two knockout victories alongside two losses. In the amateur circuit, he remains undefeated with a perfect record of three knockout wins, demonstrating his capability in the sport.
Saula is approaching this fight with determination, aiming for a knockout. “I enter the ring looking for a knockout,” he affirmed.
Regarding his training regimen, Saula revealed that he has dedicated the last three months to rigorous boxing drills. “Nat Ledua has been instrumental in my training, teaching me tactics, and my brothers have assisted as sparring partners,” he added.
He recognizes that Vakalalabure will be bringing his best to the match. “My opponent will certainly aim to impress the fans, but I am well-prepared for this challenge.”
Saula expressed gratitude towards the Fiji Boxing Commission for organizing the event, providing the people of Labasa an opportunity to experience exciting boxing.
