Former heavyweight boxer and businessman of Fiji, Sunia Cama passed away this morning.
69 year old Cama was a great boxer of his time and did not only hold the heavyweight title but was also the champion in the Light Heavyweight division.
Cama also fought overseas.
His cousin Alipate Korovou who is also a former top boxer says Cama's death is a big loss to boxing in Fiji and he will be sorely missed by many boxing fans and boxers, as he was still taking interest in boxing and training the amateur boxers.
Cama was also the corner man for Joy Ali, when he fought Samoa's Faimasasa Tavui and Joseph Kwadjo.
During the early 1970s, he trained a group of amateur fighters who all later became champions and top boxers in the region, and this includes Sakaraia Ve, Jo Keresi, Timoci Belo and Inoke Cakautini.
Cama whose funeral details will be released later, is survived by his wife and 12 children.
