Mikaele Ravalaca is gearing up for an electrifying showdown against Mohammed Ali in the Lightweight 61 Kilogram title bout at the Vodafone Arena in Suva on Saturday. With confidence high, Ravalaca has made an unconventional pledge: although he believes he could potentially knock out Ali in the first round, he intends to extend the fight to provide fans with an enjoyable experience, stating, “If he wobbles in the first round, I’ll tell him, wait it’s too early, not now.”
Ravalaca’s dedication to his training has been unwavering, and he is calling for fans to turn out in large numbers to support the event, which also features two other title fights and seven additional bouts. The anticipation surrounding this match builds on Ravalaca’s impressive record of multiple victories, including four knockouts, and showcases the growing prominence of boxing in Fiji.
The event will be accessible globally through pay-per-view for those unable to attend, indicating a rising interest in boxing both locally and internationally. As with past boxing promotions in Fiji, the emphasis remains on athlete safety, including necessary medical protocols and drug testing for participants.
Ravalaca’s commitment not only highlights his ambition but also signals a broader positive momentum for boxing in Fiji, inspiring future generations of athletes. As the fighters step into the ring this weekend, all eyes will be on Ravalaca and Ali, and fans can expect an exciting display of talent and determination. This bout represents an important moment for Ravalaca’s career and the Fijian boxing scene at large.
