Singh, Ali Fight Draws Huge Hype

The Sebastian ‘Sniper’ Singh- Junior Farzan ‘Razor’ Ali fight is drawing a lot attention in Vancouver, the home of promoter Mohammed Shameem.
The Vancouver- rites newly formed Canada Fiji South Pacific Promotions has become a hot topic among the sports fervent.
The Singh-Farzan Ali names seems to roll off at all get-togethers, big or small, it appears the hype is huge beyond Fiji.
Former Fijian boxer Subarmani Reddy ‘Tiger’ says the Fijian community is so engrossed with the fight that everyone has an opinion about who will walk the talk.
Reddy said the interest spiraled after learning a local promoter is involved and has lined up a great deck for the June 30 programme.
“The two boxers are showmen in their own rights. They will surely bring the house down so suggests the talk down and this is a great sell if you will for the promotion”, he said.
Reddy said Singh and Ali have enviable physique, a growing aura and need to win to back up their ‘talk’ but nothing matters on the day of the fight.
“Records play a small part, it all comes down to training and mental preparation. How much the boxer wants to win on the night.”
Reddy says Canada Fiji South Pacific Promotions deserves plaudits for staging the much-anticipated fight which has left many up in arms when it comes to prediction.
“We’ll see how it plays. It is only getting interesting as both the fighters have predicted knockout before six rounds”, Reddy said.
SUNsports has been reliable informed that a huge Canadian presence is being worked on for the June 30 fight.
