NEW TITLES ARRIVE
Meanwhile, Boxing Commission of Fiji chairman Bulutani Mataitawakilai confirmed that new Fiji titles have arrived last month.
“BCF is still going through several processes with Post Fiji before they can get hold of them,” he said.
“The titles are of international standard and will be owned by BCF.” Mataitawakilai said BCF would be releasing the boxers ranking in the coming weeks after they consult managers and clubs before the endorsement by the board.
It is understood that BCF is going to declare all weight divisions vacant since some current title holders have been inactive and are finding it difficult to make the weight.
He also urged on boxing fans to be at Prince Charles Park on October 20 to support our upcoming professional boxers.
