FIJI’S Ratu Raukuro Daunivavana is targeting a potential trans-Tasman showdown with New Zealand champion Sonny Morini as he looks to add another regional title to his growing collection.
Fresh from capturing the World Alliance Boxing Association (WABA) Supreme International Welterweight title, Daunivavana has identified Morini as a potential opponent as he seeks to strengthen his standing in the regional welterweight division.
The proposed contest would bring together two fighters who have already established themselves as titleholders across the Pacific and Australasian boxing scene.
Daunivavana currently holds the WABA Supreme International Welterweight title and the Australasian Welterweight crown, which he secured in Brisbane in June after stopping Australia’s Yungu Yanner in the seventh round.
Morini, meanwhile, holds the New Zealand Professional Boxing Commission (NZPBC) Welterweight title and the Pacific Welterweight title sanctioned by the Professional Boxing Commission New Zealand (PBCNZ).
The New Zealander added another significant achievement to his record on October 30 when he stopped the Philippines’ Jules Victoriano to capture the World Boxing Association (WBA) Oceania Welterweight title.
