It was a similar story for Tina Rahimi, who defeated Tongan Feofaaki Epenisa to win the women’s 57kg title, while Yusuf Chothia overcame a partisan home crowd to defeat Solomon Islander Clinton Tetekana in the men’s 51kg final - both by unanimous decision. The first pugilist from Down Under to taste success in Solomon Islands’ Friendship Hall on Saturday (2 December) was Monique Suraci who beat New Zealand’s Tasmyn Benny by unanimous decision in the women’s 50kg final.
The final day of boxing at the 2023 Pacific Games saw Australia land another six titles to match the team’s success from a day previously.
