Team Fiji’s boxing campaign at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games has come to an end after both fighters were eliminated in the Round of 16.

In the women’s 60-kilogram division, Merewalesi Kolitapa narrowly lost to Japan’s Ayano Mochii by a 4-1 split decision, with one judge scoring the bout in her favour.

Meanwhile, Norman Amram was defeated by Mauritius boxer Jean Julian Agathe on a unanimous 5-0 points decision in the men’s 60-kilogram competition.

With boxing concluded, Team Fiji’s focus now shifts to athletics, where Ilaisa Tabete will compete in the men’s 400-metre hurdles semi-finals early tomorrow morning Fiji time.

A place in the final awaits if he progresses through the next round.
