Boxing match between mother/daughter at the Crystal Veneti Memorial • TNTV Tahiti Nui Télévision

We hadn’t seen it in fenua: a mother-daughter boxing match in the shape of an octagon. Multiple champion for Polynesia, champion of France and silver medalist at the 2015 Pacific Games, Edith Tavani Cross the gloves with his daughter Timana, a young boxing hopeful, for the good cause. “Our boss asked for boxers to be present at the Crystal Memorial, so we showed up because we never had the chance to get together at the show,” Edith explains.

“We wanted to fight a good fight, Timiana adds his daughter. This is the first time a mother-daughter quarrel has occurred.”

Another authenticity: arm wrestling duels … judged by the champion of France + 110 kg Tauraatea Teua. And there were other surprises that still fit the octagon: wrestling, judo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, mixed martial arts, and even a demonstration of Sambo led by the New Zealand Federation. “I’m glad everyone played the game, Bernard de Rollo, the organizing member replied. The athletes who participated exceeded the athletic or performance aspect even if there were good fights. The first idea was to be there at the memorial.”

A very emotional evening. His training partners even offered him a memorial dance.

Kristel’s family expressed their appreciation for this tribute to this late athlete. “She didn’t really like to exercise, He remembers his mother. But after almost every fight, she came back with a medal.”

Approximately three hours of viewing between exhibitions and competitions. 14 custom battles. Among the expected encounters, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Kauai Coquil beat Tearii Helme by decision of the judges. In judo under 90 kg: a tie between Mivarao Legajic and New Zealand’s Vinay Reddy. Headline, MMA Fight: Erai Watanabe faces another New Zealander, Jon Madoc. in 2^{The tenth} Round, the new surprises his opponent by passing an arm bar. John Maddock’s victory by submission.

At the end of the evening, the bidders had positive results, and they intend to repeat this meeting over the next few years.
