Rising Team Fiji boxer Amini Saratibau believes he is in the best shape of his life as he closes in on a qualifying spot for the Olympics.

The Tubalevu villager from Namara, Tailevu defeated his highly favored opponent from Colombia, via a second round TKO over the weekend in the Olympic qualifying tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.

In an exclusive interview with FBC Sports today, Saratibau says he is confident as he pushes for a place at the Paris Olympics in July.

“I didn’t look at his record because I knew he had more fights and wins than me, but I just went in with the belief that I could win. I just thank God for bringing me this far and using my talent.”
