OVERSEAS boxer Ryan Roberts has vowed to put on a show when he faces Fiji’s Kolinio Luvelolo in the Masa South Pacific Light Heavyweight Title bout at the FMF Bluewater Boxing Promotion in Nadi tonight.

The visiting fighter said he has been training hard and is ready to showcase his skills in his first fight outside of his home country.

“I’m looking forward to the fight. I’ve trained hard, worked hard, and I’m here to put on a good show for Fiji and also make money for my kids.

“Much respect to my opponent,” Roberts said.

Roberts admitted he came in a little heavier than usual at the weigh-in but said that would not affect his performance.

“I’m good and ready to go,” he said.

The 10-round specialist hinted at an early finish but made it clear he is prepared to go the distance if needed.

“I’m used to 10 rounds. I’m looking for a good finish, and I know I will finish him. That’s how I roll,” Roberts declared confidently.

He also encouraged fans to fill the arena and witness a fiery main event.

“Come and watch, we will put on a good show. I’m coming to win,” Roberts said.

With both fighters promising fireworks, the crowd in Nadi can expect nothing less than an explosive showdown when Roberts and Luvelolo meet inside the ring.
