Samoa boxing gold medalist

Samoa boxing gold medalist awaits sentencing for burglary

Nu'uuli Mose Livai was one of seven Samoan boxers to win Gold for the host country during the games in July.

He committed the burglary offence he was convicted of last year at Faleula village.

The boxer appeared in court on Monday for sentencing submissions from the prosecution and a probation report.

But the case was adjourned to Friday to give the prosecution time to check if Nu'uli had any previous convictions.

The defendant told the court as part of the Samoa boxing team he was training to compete in New Zealand and American Samoa next month.
