Professional boxing returns to Fiji

10:56 am on 12 March 2009

After a lapse of two years, professional boxing returns to Fiji.

This Saturday's return to the ring will feature Fiji's hero - Zulfikar Joy Ali against Samoa's Middleweight champion - Faimasasa Tavui in a 10 round middleweight contest in Suva.

The program is titled - Bad blood - because Tavui beat Ali in Auckland last year in a 10-round split points decision.

Ali says that was hometown decision and he's confident to knock the Samoan out in Suva.

The Toe to Toe Promotions programme has 4 amateur fights and 5 professional bouts.
