Jone Davule Koroilagilagi, a South Pacific Games gold medallist last year, is determined to lead the Fiji boxing team to success in the Olympic Qualifiers in Thailand.
With just four kilos to lose to reach the 57kg category, he is already working hard on his training and diet.
“I started training as soon as I came back from the SPG, and mostly working my diet as I must reach 57kg category,” said Koroilagilagi.
“I have been focusing on the gym, using the treadmill, and working on my boxing skills to ensure I’m in peak condition for the qualifiers.”
“As the leader of the team, it is a big challenge for me, as I must set a good example for his teammates, many of whom will be competing in the qualifiers for the first time.”
Koroilagilagi believes that self-belief and guidance from a higher power will be key to his success in the tournament.
He is grateful for the support he has received from his home, and the Fiji Police Force.
