Veteran Navosa boxer Abhay Chand has challenged newly crowned Fijian middleweight champion Sebastian ‘The Sniper’ Singh to fight him next. Speaking to SUNsports on Saturday night,
Chand said he’s ready for the big fight.
Singh won after Rakuro Daunivavana retired in the third round claiming that he had injured his wrist to the disappointment of the fans at Tilak High School hall on Saturday night.
“I made sure Rakuro throw punches in the air as it tires him out,” Singh said.
“Usually people are more cultured to see me going out and having a brawl with my opponents.
“This time the game plan was to box him from the outside, stick to the jab and throw some big shots. “I was looking forward to a brawl, I was looking forward to a good fight a toe-to-toe fight knowing Rakuro is a tough customer.
“I had prepared well as I flew overseas for training.”
Singh said the fight against Chand would happen soon.
“The promoters have to agree to our terms.
“No matter what anyone says people know it’s a big fight and Ahbay is not a walk in a park.
“Abhay is a tough customer and is known for his deadly right hand.
“I’ll have to go back to the drawing board and talk with my team as I still have a lot to learn.”
