#5. Boxing, Family & Culture - Teremoana Jnr

Teremoana Jnr, is a Queensland & Australian Amateur Boxer who started boxing when he was around 12 years of age. Encouraged by his father into the sport, he ended up being crowned Cook Island's Super Heavyweight Champion back in 2017 but when he turned 21, he set his sights on stepping up and had 4 professional fights, with all won by knockout!

He says "I don't just want to be good, I want to be great", a quote summed up by his decision to step back into the amateurs and he's represented Australia overseas and most recently became Australia's Amateur Super Heavyweight Champion at the Australian Boxing Championship held in Perth. This win meant he continues to chase greatness as he competes at the Pan Pacific Games in November, where another gold medal will see him jet off with the Australian team for the Paris 2024 Olympics. 

Don't be fooled by his size, he's a man with a big heart and his love for his family, his culture and his countries is something that is certainly inspiring. The respect he has for the sport and his opponents and the pride he holds every time he steps into the ring has certainly captured hearts and minds all around the world. He has a bright future ahead of him!
