Former Fiji amateur boxing champion Gyan Kumar is reaping the rewards of a plan he set two decades ago in Labasa.
Now residing in Australia, his plan is bearing fruits.
“Those days in Labasa, we were poor,” Kumar said from his home yesterday. “Growing up, I always say that one day I will live like a champion.”
Kumar and his family celebrated the achievement of his eldest daughter, Elisha, last week. She is 13.
She won the Australian National Club girls under-14 boxing title in the U50 kilogram division. Elisha is the fi rst South Seas islander and Fijian to get the title.
