Nawai’s President Chanchal Kumar says his three boxers are ready for Singh.

“If he wants to fight Nawai, he is ready to fight. If he wants to fight light welter, Ronald is ready, and if he wants to come and fight in the middleweight, Abhay Chand is ready. My three boxers are ready."

Meanwhile, Canada Fiji Southern Boxing Promoter Simon Nausad has backed Nawai and saying he is willing to promote this fight which will feature a top-quality bout.

The proposed fight is scheduled in the first week of May at Prince Charles Park in Nadi.
