Heavyweight boxers Semi Dauloloma and James Singh are set to clash once again for the national title in a highly anticipated rematch on Saturday, July 19, at the Vodafone Arena in Suva. This matchup comes on the heels of their previous encounter last August at Lawaqa Park, where both fighters were disqualified during a chaotic brawl in the ring.
Promoter Nahroon Buksh confirmed the rematch, emphasizing the excitement surrounding this contest as both boxers aim to resolve the unfinished business from their last bout. With each fighter having claimed a victory over the other in prior matches—Singh winning in June 2024 and Dauloloma in July 2023—this fight holds significant importance as it will determine the overall victor.
Dauloloma has conveyed a straightforward message to Singh, urging him to bring his best performance if he hopes to retain the title. “If he doesn’t want that belt to be taken from him, he better be ready,” Gauloloma stated, suggesting that the stakes are high.
Singh, on the other hand, is focusing on strengthening his spiritual approach to preparation, admitting that he had previously lost sight of his training regime amidst the distractions of fame. “I got caught up in the bright lights; I was lazy, and I intend to change that for this bout,” Singh expressed.
This rematch promises to deliver an intense battle characterized by each fighter’s unique strategies and backgrounds. Fans can expect a thrilling showdown that not only showcases the talents of these two boxers but also the growing competitiveness of heavyweight boxing in Fiji.
As the fight draws near, both competitors are gearing up and displaying determination that reflects the high stakes involved. This event has the potential to be a defining moment in their careers, offering a chance for redemption and the ultimate prize in the heavyweight division.
