Fijian Olympian Winston Hill is preparing for a significant milestone in his professional boxing career as he aims for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific Super Welterweight Championship this weekend. Hill will face Australia’s Ben Mahoney at the highly anticipated Ring Magazine Cruiserweight World Titles event.
Scheduled for this Saturday at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre, the bout promises to be thrilling. Mahoney, known as “Sydney’s Golden Boy,” boasts an impressive record of 15 consecutive victories, including eight knockouts, signaling he will be a formidable opponent.
Hill is no stranger to high-stakes matchups. The 2016 Olympian returns to the ring just four months after successfully defending his IBO Asian Pacific title against Australian boxer Lachlan O’Shea. This victory preserved his flawless professional record, putting him at 7–0, with six of his wins coming by way of knockout.
Excitement for the event is further amplified by the participation of World Cruiserweight Champion Jai Opetaia, who will also be featured in one of the main bouts of the evening. This lineup positions the event as one of the most significant fight nights in the region this year, with fans eagerly anticipating the outcomes.
Overall, the upcoming championship fight represents not only an opportunity for Hill to shine but also a thrilling showcase of boxing talent in the Gold Coast.
