Junior Binnu moves preparation to Australia

June 11, 2025 12:20 pm

Junior Binnu Singh is moving his training to Australia in preparation for next month’s WBA Oceania Super Bantamweight title showdown.

The move comes as Singh is having a tough time securing a sparring partner to help him train to counter Australia-based Runqi Zhou.

For that reason, Singh has made arrangements with his family in Australia to move his training base there so that he can prepare accordingly.

Singh’s coach, Bobby Mason, has been training the 25-year-old boxer with sheer determination and knows Binnu is more than capable of causing an upset.

“The class, the skill, the footwork—it’s brilliant. From now on, we are working on heightening our senses. He is probably one of the few 55 kg boxers with the big knockout powers.”

Singh says he is aware of the threat Zhou presents but is going the extra mile, considering a world title is at stake.

The main bout between Junior Binnu and Zhou will be hosted by Kings Boxing Promotions at the Vodafone Arena in Suva on July 19th.
