NAIDIRI Boxing Promotions spokesman Mohammed Ali says the inclusion of Filipino boxer Rey Anton Olarte would spice up the program with international flavour.

Olarte is a last minute replacement for Junior Farzan Ali who injured his wrist last week.

According to Mohammed fans will witness "champagne boxing". He said three amateur fights would also be staged during the program.

"All preparations have been done and it has been a while since we last saw an international fight," Mohammed said.

"We are lucky to find a formidable replacement for Opeti Tagi after Junior Farzan pulled out. So we are quite happy.

"We inspected the boxing stage at Prince Charles Park and it is ready. All the boxers are well prepared."

Tickets are on sale at Zoom Video Vision outlet in Namaka and will be sold during the official weigh in at the Foodhall Supermarket in Nadi town at 2pm today.

The ticket prices are $20 for the inner ringside and $15 for outer ringside.
