TOP boxing trainer Gyan Singh has ruled out the possibility of a clash between “the Sniper” and “the Razor”.
When contacted on Sunday, Singh said they had mapped out a plan for his son Sebastian and “the Razor” was not part of it.
“We have our own plans for Sebastian. He will not be fighting any Tom, Dick and Harry. What will he gain?” the Uptown Boxing Club’s boss said.
According to Singh, “the Razor” was yet to prove himself.
“He hasn’t proved himself and doesn’t qualify for nothing,” he said.
“We’re not scared of him.”
“The Sniper” is in Sydney, Australia preparing for his next fight and will not be returning home any time soon.
“He’s preparing for a fight in New Zealand in March or April. Overseas fights are not easy. You need proper training facilities and proper food,” Singh said.
“We’re looking at a maximum of four fights for him this year.”
Singh said after many years of boxing, “the Razor” did not even have a promoter among other things.
“Promoters and boxers work together. Promoters need to build young boxers,” he said.
In an earlier interview, Boxing Commission of Fiji acting chairman Malakai Veisamasama classed “The Razor” as an elite boxer. “Farzan is at the top of his game. You can’t really blame him for being top. He’s running out of opponents because he keeps knocking everyone out. Boxers like him (and his brother, the late Joy Ali) come once in a while. Sakaraia Ve (Fiji welterweight champ in the ’70s and ’80s) was one of them.
“They’re elite boxers and nobody wants to fight them. Who wants to pitch-up against a boxer who is in the elite class? The best thing is to avoid them,” Veisamsama had said.
