Rohit, a rising star in Indian boxing, showcased his remarkable talent at the Stratum Construction Zeg Kings Boxing Promotions by defeating Fiji’s Filise Nabua in a welterweight match held at the Vodafone Arena in Suva. The contest concluded dramatically in the sixth round when Nabua’s corner threw in the towel just 53 seconds in, prompting the referee to call an end to the fight.
Throughout the match, Rohit displayed his strength and skill with precise jabs and agile footwork, effectively countering Nabua’s attempts. This bout was notable for Nabua as it marked only his second professional outing, having previously achieved a unanimous decision victory five months earlier. Facing a more experienced opponent like Rohit, who now holds a professional record of six wins against just one loss, proved to be a challenging endeavor for Nabua.
The event also highlighted several impressive performances by other boxers.
