Negotiations for a championship bout between Mikaele Ravalaca and Jnr Binnu Singh are set to commence upon Singh’s return from Australia. This information comes from Adi Narayan, the chairman of the Boxing Commission of Fiji, who has confirmed to Ravalaca’s team that a title shot is on the horizon.
Ravalaca, who has been vocal in challenging Singh—especially since Singh now holds the WBF Australasian Featherweight title—is keenly awaiting this match-up. Singh won the title in September by defeating Krishneel Mudaliar through a split points decision during the Bluewater Boxing event held in Sigatoka.
Adi Narayan stressed the importance of this fight taking place, suggesting that failure to do so could lead to repercussions for Singh. He mentioned that discussions will take place with Bluewater promotions to arrange this championship fight, likely slated for May. Singh is presently in Australia for his sister’s wedding, and negotiations will begin once he returns.
Narayan expressed concern about Singh’s apparent reluctance to face Ravalaca. He has instructed promoters to communicate with Singh’s camp, emphasizing that if they refuse the match, he is prepared to intervene and potentially strip Singh of his title.
In light of Ravalaca’s recent victory in Australia, Narayan took to social media, assuring fans that Ravalaca will indeed have the championship fight he has long desired.
This potential bout not only excites fans but also showcases the competitive spirit within Fijian boxing. With both athletes vying for the title, supporters can look forward to an electrifying match-up in the near future.
In summary, the BCF is actively working to ensure that the anticipated fight occurs, maintaining the integrity of the championship and pushing for competitive fairness in the sport.
