Bunnies raise money for boxer

Umina Bunnies Rugby League Football Club held a fundraising day on Sunday, May 27, at Col Gooley Oval, Umina, to raise money for 14-year-old boxer Satali Tevi Fuimaono.

Satali, of Umina, is a two-time Australian Boxing Champion and is headed to Kansas in August to compete for the world title.

Four games of rugby league were played on the day along with raffles and a sparring demonstration from Satali.

Through his efforts over the last 12 months, Satali has been recognised by the various Australian boxing authorities and has been awarded a scholarship with Australia's Future's Squad where he will become part of the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games Development Program.

In the last two years, Satali has been named South East Queensland Champion, Central West NSW Champion, Under-16s NSW and Australian Champion, two-time NSW and Australian Champion and two-time National Golden Gloves Champion.
