Today Mercede represented herself, her club and her country with absolute heart and pride against the current 3 x Australian Champ Ivy and took away gold πŸ†

Ivy is one increadibly tough opponent, but Mercede stuck to the game plan, kept her work rate really high and landed her 2 with so much power like she does and managed to secure a really well deserved win.

Peta stepped up to fight a tough girl from the Victorian development team since the NZ team didnt have anyone suitable. Peta gave it her all landing some nice clean shots but it wasn't quite enough to secure the win so we are taking the learn today and will go back tomorrow and try again with a different game plan.

We are all so increadibly proud of our two girls stepping into the international realm of boxing and giving it everything they've got.

These two train hard, give back so much of their time to their club coaching others and are a credit to themselves πŸ’™β€οΈ

The highlight of the day for Peta was getting the chance to meet World Champion Mea Motu and having the most inspiring and beautiful korero xx

Today's the day πŸ₯Š

Mercede and Peta are all weighed in and set to take to the ring in a couple of hours πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏπŸ₯Š

We are super proud of how hard these girls work week after week, and know they will do themselves and their club proud this weekend πŸ’™β€οΈ

The weather is getting warmer β˜€οΈ and the sessions are getting sweatier πŸ₯΅

We know a lot of people work hard in physical jobs during the day, so out of respect for your team mates and coaches that have to work really closely with you, put some deodorant on and change your t-shirt before coming to training!

And if you've been wearing the same t-shirt to train in for the last year, maybe it's time to buy a nice new and clean Napier Boxing one 😜😎

Also remember a towel, and clean yourself down regularly as no one wants sweat flinging off their partner and hitting them in the face 😬

If you do forget to clean before coming to the gym we now have deodorant available and don't take offense if coach sprays you down 🀣

Happy spring everyone πŸ£πŸŒΊβ˜€οΈ

(No one was harmed in the making of this video. And PS, these young men are not even the culprits lol)

A huge thank you to Plumbing World Napier and Turfreys for subsidizing the cost of purchasing a water fountain for the club. And to RJ Plumbing and Drainage Contractors for installing it!

With so many rangatahi coming through our doors, acsess to clean and cold water is essential!

Day 6 Brisbane πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ₯Š

Today was the last day of boxing at the International Australian Golden Gloves.

We had Mercede fighting in a challenge bout against Shakaiyah from Rangiora Boxing in the South Island.

After blowing the cobwebs out in her first bout at the Golden Gloves (since coming back from a broken nose and surgery) Mercede went out and dominated from the start with long straight shots and a huge amount of pressure to force a stoppage within the 1st round.

We are very appreciative to our opponent Shakaiya, for sharing the ring with us and wish her well as she progresses with her boxing journey as it's great to see more girls coming through the sport πŸ’™

Then the day was rounded out with a trip to China Town at the mall, and a late night movie and shenanigans 🀣
