Winston Hill, a local hero, is poised to headline an exciting event at the South Pacific Boxing Promotion on October 26 at Prince Charles Park in Nadi. This event will feature a significant fight for the IBO Asia Pacific superweight title. For Hill, this match transcends titles, rankings, or personal accolades; it is about proudly representing his country, remaining devoted to his passion for boxing, and inspiring the next generation of Fijian athletes.
“I personally don’t care about world rankings or belts,” Hill stated. “I love boxing, I love training, and I love dedicating myself to the sport. That determination is what drives me forward.” He expressed his eagerness to take on the challenge, vowing to deliver powerful punches from the very first round. Hill anticipates a display of skill, fitness, and the art of boxing throughout the match.
This bout will also celebrate Fijian culture and pride. A highlight for Hill is the chance to compete in front of Sonny Bill Williams, a Pacific sports icon. “Growing up watching him on TV, it would be amazing to shake his hand,” Hill remarked. He sees this event as a wonderful opportunity for fans to meet such a prominent figure, get autographs, and enjoy the overall atmosphere.
As he prepares to enter the ring, Hill’s focus is not on fame or championship titles but on the privilege of representing Fiji and elevating boxing in his homeland. This fight marks another chapter in his inspiring career, reflecting not only his accomplishments in the ring but also his admirable character beyond it.
