Legendary sports idol Sonny Bill Williams will headline the South Pacific Boxing Promotion on October 26 at Prince Charles Park, Nadi, as the chief guest.
The event promises a major night for Pacific boxing with three international title fights. Fijians hold Williams in high regard, not only for his success in rugby and boxing but also for his commitment to unity and inclusivity. Reflecting on the support he’s received, Williams shared, “The Fijian community has always shown me mad love.”
Williams’ presence is expected to elevate the event’s profile. His transition from rugby to boxing serves as an inspiration to many young athletes in the region.
The highlight fight will see Fijian Olympian Winston Hill defend his unbeaten record against Australia’s Lachlan O’Shea for the IBO Asia Pacific Super Welterweight Title. Additionally, local fighters Sebastian Singh and Ubayd Haider will compete in two more international title bouts, promising an exciting night for boxing fans.
In a video circulating social media, Williams announced his visit stating that he will be speaking at schools and masjids simultaneously inspiring young individuals. Watch the full video here:
