Newly crowned Australian Welterweight Champion Ratu Rakuro Daunivavana has returned home after making history earlier this week.
The 29-year-old arrived at Nadi International Airport yesterday following his title-winning performance in Brisbane, Australia.
Known as the “Buca Bay Prince,” Daunivavana defeated Brisbane’s Yungu Yanner by technical knockout (TKO), producing one of the finest performances of his decade-long boxing career.
The victory earned him the Australian Welterweight title and further cemented his status as one of Fiji’s leading professional boxers.
Daunivavana now boasts a professional record of 11 wins, including nine knockouts, alongside 13 losses and three draws.
