Two weeks after knocking out Jonasa Kavika at Lawaqa Park, Fiji’s heavyweight champion James “The Beast” Singh has finally been given the belt which the Boxing Commission of Fiji did not bring that night.
Singh was presented yesterday with the Heavyweight Title of Fiji belt by Education Minister Rosy Akbar and the Chairman of the Boxing Commission of Fiji Subhash Appana.
Following an inquiry this past week, the Boxing Commission of Fiji says due to an administrative oversight, the fight did not have a title belt onsite to award the winner of the title bout.

Fiji heavyweight boxing champion James Singh received his belt today eleven days after his championship bout.
The Minister of Education, Heritage and Arts Rosy Akbar said Singh displayed the character of a true champion despite not receiving his belt on the day.
“He displayed true sportsmanship, the crowd was riled up and although he was most affected, calmed things down,” Akbar said.

Boxing Commission of Fiji chairman Dr Subhash Appana was furious when he came to know the heavyweight belt for last Saturday’s main fight was not available.
It came as a surprise when James Singh after beating Jonasa Kavika was not presented the belt because it was not available.
Appana said he thought Freddy Chand, the promoter had the belt but according to Appana, Chand had assumed Usman Lale had the belt. “So the thing is Freddy is blaming Lale and Lale is blaming Freddy.
There was an oversight, people overlooked a lot of things,” he said.
make it morrell vant? i think the biggest thing here, we need to look at the form he signed and everybody is reading a couple of words and asking whether he requires evaluation or examination, his answer was no. he didn t require evaluation or examination, didn t ask do you have an injury that requires treemtd or we need to know about? the only reason the form is put into place to protect the boxing commission should there be a injury to say we re not libel. the people watching it and buying a ticket have no right to an expectation of a certain performance. did he bring this on himself? did pacquiao bring all of this on by saying afterwards, i wasn t in top shape and had a shoulder injury and trying to beat his chest a little bit to the fact ep wasn t up to snuff to go into the ring with floyd mayweather? you re dealing with two different things rng the court of law and court of law they
