Thai boxer Apichart Klintai will let his clash against Sigatoka opponent Junior Binnu Singh speak for itself as the clock ticks to their main bout at the Vodafone Arena in Suva tomorrow.
Klintai and Singh will face off after 12 supporting bouts in the Stratum Construction-sponsored ZEG Kings Boxing Promotion event titled “This is Boxing.”
The duo will fight over the WBA Oceania Interim Super Bantam Weight belt, in a fight lasting 10 rounds.
Klintai, who arrived in the country this week from Thailand, said their contest in the ring was a matter of having to wait and see how it would turn out.
“On the stage, it can happen, anything can happen,” Klintai relayed through his interpreter yesterday.
While he admitted he had not seen previous bouts of his opponent to better prepare himself, he emphasised the importance of preparation.
Noting this, he mentioned how he would counter Singh’s approach when they would face off in the ring.
“If they’re (Singh) too quick, he (Klintai) will protect and fight smarter and he will come to knock him out.”
Protecting himself and fighting smarter has paid off greatly for the Thai boxer in his previous 14 bouts.
Out of the 14, he has won 10 and will seek an eleventh when he faces Singh tomorrow.
Klintai stepped in to replace Runqi Zhou, who was injured in a racially-motivated incident in Australia recently.
Singh, meanwhile, will make his second appearance in a ZEG Kings Boxing Promotions event, the first being his clash against Australian-based Chinese boxer Runqi Zhou in the event’s main bout.
