(JULY 26) Maori female boxer The Nightmea Motu is set to wear the rainbow flag for her upcoming boxing fight against Rangi Hetet on August 7th at Te Rapa Racecourse in Hamilton.
The two-weight division New Zealand boxing champion Mea Motu considers herself as an ally to the Rainbow and gender diverse communities. All of the people in the gym that she trains at, Peach Boxing, either has a family member in the community or is close friends of someone. I wear the flag because it does stand for my family and Im proud to have takatāpui in my family Motu said.
