Ubayd Haider (formerly known as Nathan Singh) says his upcoming bout against Krishnil Kishan Mudaliar is a chance for him to win the vacant super featherweight title that has eluded him for years.
The two boxers yesterday signed their contracts for the May 18 title fight under the South Pacific Boxing Promotion banner at Prince Charles Park in Nadi.
Haider said this fight meant a lot to him . “I’m a king without a crown here in Fiji boxing, and it’s time to wear my crown,” the 23-year-old said.
“I have been chasing this guy for five years, his acting all innocent here but he has a lot to say on social media.
“I’m going to split him in half on the day of the fight. I don’t know if it’s going to be a knockout or decision, but I will leave the room victorious.”
Mudaliar, the former titleholder says he is thrilled at the prospect of trying to get hold of his title back after it was stripped of him during the Covid-19 pandemic.
With two weeks of training behind him and seven more to go, he is focusing on honing his tactics, power punches, and movement to deliver a spectacular performance for the fans.
“It has been two weeks now of my training, now I have seven weeks left still got time and I will be fully prepared,” said Mudaliar.
“I’m working on my tactic, power punches and my movement, this is the first time to fight Ubayd Haider looking forward for it and give hoping to give a good show for the fans.”
Fans can expect an explosive and action-packed showdown as the two go head-to-head for the super featherweight title.
