Leweni Waqa....fought some of the worlds top boxers and was born on 14-03-1942 hand went on to live in his village of Sawaieke, Gau.  When the subject of rugby comes up and the question of who was the greatest Fijian rugby player of all time, the name Josefa Levula , would unmistakably be at the forefront. But in boxing the name Leweni Waqa is definitely a household name that nobody could miss and definitely in his time he was in a class of his own. He did not hold a Commonwealth title like Alipate Korovou, but he stood toe to toe in the ring against some of the world's best pugilist from New Zealand, USA,Northern Ireland and Britain. The pinnacle of his career was his fight against former World champion Jimmy Ellis in 1965 at the Arsenal Football Stadium, Highbury, London, Britain.
