PACIFIC ORIGINALS Tonga's Boxing Story

In 1946 Manase Latu and Nase Nukuifu came together in Nuku'alofa, Tonga for a legendary battle between Tongan fighters. In the shadow of the war, and of Tonga's boxing greats, especially Tevita Soakai, the golden age of Tongan boxing began.
In rare footage, Kava Bowl Media opens its series of Pacific Original's with a throwback to some true Pacific Originals: Tonga's pioneer boxers.
