OXEN Sports and Fiji international Kalaveti Ravouvou will continue their journey together after agreeing a new two-year partnership.
The Bristol Bears back has become a key member of OXEN’s athlete team, combining explosive power, pace and unpredictability with a playing style capable of changing a game in a moment.
The new agreement is more than a continuation of the existing partnership. It represents a shared commitment between athlete and brand, with Kalaveti continuing to wear OXEN rugby boots, contribute valuable performance feedback and play an active role in the next stage of the brand’s growth.
From the outset, the relationship has been built around trust. Kalaveti needs footwear that allows him to play with freedom and confidence, while OXEN benefits from the insight of an athlete competing against some of the strongest and fastest players in world rugby.
That connection has continued to grow, making a new two-year agreement the natural next step.
Kalaveti Ravouvou said: “I’m very happy to continue with OXEN for another two years. From the beginning, the team has listened to what I need as a player and made me feel like an important part of the brand.
“When I play, I want to be able to move freely, accelerate and be powerful without thinking about my footwear. I have that confidence with OXEN, and that is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to continue the relationship.
“I’m proud to represent the brand and excited about what we can build together over the next two years.”
A powerful and versatile presence across the backline, Kalaveti’s direct running and ability to beat defenders have made him an exciting figure for club and country.
Those qualities also closely reflect OXEN’s approach to performance: products designed to withstand the physical demands of rugby without restricting the speed, movement and creativity of the athlete wearing them.
Lee Jenkinson, CEO at OXEN Sports, said: “Kalaveti plays rugby in a way that immediately gets people out of their seats. He is powerful, explosive and capable of producing something completely unexpected, but there is also a great deal of intelligence and control behind the way he performs.
“That combination makes him a brilliant athlete for OXEN and someone we want to build a long-term relationship with.
“This new agreement is not simply about Kalaveti wearing our rugby boots for another two years. It is about continuing to listen to him, learn from his experience and involve him as we develop the next generation of OXEN products.
“We have built something really positive together and believe there is much more still to come.”
The extension strengthens an OXEN athlete roster that continues to bring together established internationals, emerging talent and players from across both codes of rugby.
