Ni Vanuatu boxers Roy Ser and Wasing Warawara will arrive in the country next Wednesday.
South Pacific Boxing Promotions promoter Fred Chand announced that the boxers would take a connecting flight to Labasa for the promotion scheduled for next Saturday, August 10.
“The boxers wanted to get to Labasa quickly to acclimatize to the weather conditions,” Chand said.
In the main bout, Ser will face Fiji’s super welterweight and IBO Asia Pacific titleholder Winston Hill. The 10-round fight promises to be a thrilling contest, as both boxers have extensive experience in amateur boxing before turning professional.
Hill won a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, while Ser secured a gold medal at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games in Port Vila. During that period, Ser also trained in China. Ser has notable wins, including knockouts of Rakuro Dauvavana in the second round and Saimoni Ratu.
Warawara will compete in the supporting bout against the upcoming Frederick Chand from Nadi’s Seaside Boxing Club. The official weigh-in for the promotion is set for next Friday in Labasa.
