Help Awatea achieve his National & International Boxing Goals to represent NZ and eventually compete at the Olympics.

Otago

Since the age of 10 years old Awatea Henry began his competitive Amateur Boxing journey at NZ Fight And Fitness Academy under the tutelage of his coaches Ryan & Cherine Henry, Eldon Clifton, Bryan Usher as well as many others.

He has competed in over 50 Amateur Boxing Bouts to date and his dream is to win the 2019 Youth 69kg NZ National Title which he acheived on his 51st bout in Hastings on 5/10/2019. He has now been selected to represent NZ in November where he will complete against the best in Samoa and Australia.

His next goal is to be selected to represent New Zealand and compete at the Youth Worlds in 2020. His ultimate goal in the sport is to represent NZ at the Olympic Games in 2024.

He has been self funded for all his boxing trips, gear and equipment and now needs some financial help to achieve his national and international boxing goals. Please help him achieve this by donating, as every little bit helps.
