Campaign started to support Satali

A fundraising campaign has been started for 14-year-old Satali Tevi-Fuimaono who needs to raise $25,000 to contest the Ringside World Championships in Kansas in August.

Australian born Aboriginal-Samoan Satali, is a two-time Australian Boxing Champion and three-time NSW Champion.

He has won 23 of 25 fights and is the youngest in his field.

Having exhausted all the fighters in his age and Junior Welter Weight divisions in Australia he is now defeating competitors 18 months to four years his senior from Australia and abroad.

In May this year, Satali took on and smashed three-time New Zealand and two-time Golden Gloves Champion Sheldon Whalley.

The $25,000 would cover the $14,000 needed for airfares, the $6000 needed for 19 nights of accommodation, the $2500 needed for team tracksuits and updated fighting equipment and the $2500 needed for meals and general expenses.

Satali said he has a number of objectives for this year which included becoming the Junior Welter Weight World Champion, secure management an major financial sponsorships for international events and various training camps, raise the $25,000 required to get to the Ringside World Championships, continue training towards the 2016 Olympics, further refine his fighting skills and techniques and develop his brand.
