The Republic of Fiji Military Forces boxing team is ramping up its training in preparation for the highly anticipated Vodafone Sukuna Bowl. Head coach Alfred Ledua has announced that the team has entered the final phase of their training regimen, having meticulously completed two earlier phases to ensure the athletes are in peak form for their annual showdown against the Fiji Police Force.
Ledua emphasized the need for a structured training approach, stating, “We are now onto our third phase of preparation. Having completed the first two phases, our focus is now on fine-tuning our readiness for this year’s Sukuna Bowl.” The Military Forces previously held the overall boxing title in 2023 but lost out to their Police rivals last year, a setback they are eager to rectify in the upcoming match.
Acknowledging the prowess of the Police team, Ledua noted, “We know they are not an easy opponent, and this year we’re coming with everything to try and reclaim the title.” The Sukuna Bowl is not just a boxing event; it encompasses various sports, including soccer, netball, volleyball, rugby league, and rugby sevens, showcasing athletic talent across disciplines.
Set to commence on November 8th, the 2024 Sukuna Bowl is expected to offer a thrilling showcase of athletic rivalry and sportsmanship. The event fosters teamwork and camaraderie among participants and supporters, reinforcing the spirit of competition that thrives within Fiji’s sporting community. As the date approaches, both teams’ determination is palpable, promising an exciting celebration of athleticism and unity in Fiji.
