p. 18 · Read in the full issue
KNOCKED out in the first round of a boxing contest in Sydney on June 27, a 21-years-old Fijian, Setariki Bera, died in hospital without regaining consciousness.
Bera (who boxed under the name of
“Sam Ceruttui”) left Suva some months ago as a greaser on a freighter to travel in the hope of fulfilling his ambition to become a ranking boxer. This was his first fight in Australia but in Fiji he had not been beaten in a number of contests.
His home was in the Lau Islands.
Setariki Bera.
