“Cause something that we’ve found was when Winston and Jone Davule went into the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Qualification, they were battling rivals that had right around 200 novice sessions and our folks were coming in with 23 and that is not adequate so we need to begin them youthful”

Baravilala says in the previous years they have consistently centered around fighters more than 18, so this year they will be adopting an alternate strategy.

He says this new activity has been supported by interests from clubs in Caubati, Suva, Navosa, Lautoka.
