Motu in the ring
Kaitaia boxer Mea Motu, who is based in Auckland, will face Taranaki s Tania Reid for the NZ Professional Boxing Association s Lightweight title on March 26. For Motu, who trains out of Peach Boxing and is 5-0 as a professional, this will be the toughest and most important fight of her career to date especially since the pair have a history after having fought against one another as amateurs. Motu has several further fights scheduled for 2021, and the aim is to ensure that by the end of the year, she is ready to take on the world s best.
