🥊**TAMATI IS READY TO GO!🥊

The time is almost here! 🔥

Our very own Tamati will be stepping into the ring representing Mana Toa Boxing Academy & New Zealand at the NZ vs Victoria Boxing Tournament in Tauranga this September!

NZ vs VIC
🥊 5th & 6th September 2026
📍 Youth Central, Tauranga

Tamati has been putting in the mahi, sharpening his skills and preparing for the challenge. Now it’s time to put all that hard work into action! 💪🔥

We’re behind you all the way, Tamati. Represent the whānau, represent Mana Toa and represent Aotearoa with pride! ❤️

ONE RING. TWO COUNTRIES. ONE GOAL. 🥊🔥

Get along to Tauranga and show your support! 👊

A great hard fought win for Tamati. We stepped up two divisions to take on a tough young opponent, and both boxers gave absolutely everything. Neither gave an inch, making it a very entertaining and competitive bout.

A huge thank you to Marton Boxing Lewis, for all your help and support. This was our first time competing at a Green gloves event. The tournament ran exceptionally well. Thank you to everyone involved in making it such a great experience.

There's a busy schedule ahead for Tamati. We may have another match in the next couple of weeks, followed by competition against the Australian development squad, and then the New Zealand championship.

A special mention to Xavier as well. Great effort and a good win.

Well done boys very proud 🥊🥊🥊

Hanseul (Hans) steps up for his first fight 🥊

Hans had his first fight at Nabby's tournament over the weekend, and what a performance it was.

He showed a high level of skill, composure, and confidence in the ring, looking like someone who's already had multiple fights under his belt.

It was a close contest, and we ended up losing on a split decision, one of those fights that truly could have gone either way.

Well done Hans. Good start to your boxing journey.

Draye was scheduled to fight as well but unfortunately his opponent pulled out.

Exciting times ahead for the team, were looking forward to the upcoming tournaments.

Ngā mihi ki a koutou.

Tamati had a tough opponent at the North Island Golden Gloves in Tauranga. He gave it everything he had against a much taller and highly skilled boxer.

Win, lose, or draw, stepping into the ring takes courage, dedication, and heart. We're incredibly proud of the effort, determination, and sportsmanship Tamati showed throughout the tournament.

Well done, Tamati. Keep your head high, we're proud of you and looking forward to seeing what's next on your boxing journey. 🥊💪

Another awesome night of sparring at Marton boxing club. Big thanks to Lewis and the whole team for having us, really appreciate the hospitality. Great to see riverside boxing there as well. Plenty of talent on display and an awesome Kai put on by Marton boxing club. Thanks again, team!

What a great night of sparring 🥊💥

A big thank you to Marton and Galaxy boxing for coming over and sharing their talent with us. Marton boxing brought along some experienced fighters, giving our newer boxers a great opportunity to learn and grow by rubbing shoulders with them.

Galaxy boxing put their hands up to spa the best and they did very well.

It was awesome for the Mana Toa boxers to see the different levels within the sport and gain valuable experience in the ring.

We wrapped up the night with some Kai for everyone, a perfect way to finish!
