Mea Motu
Mea Motu, a formidable force in the world of boxing, has recently etched her name in the annals of sporting history.
Mea Motu is one of New Zealand’s most exciting and inspiring sporting stars — a world champion boxer, proud Māori wāhine, and a powerful voice for resilience and self-belief.
Known as "The Night Mea," she has taken the boxing world by storm with her fast hands, fearless style, and unbreakable spirit. In 2023, Mea made history by winning the IBO world super bantamweight title, becoming only the second Māori woman to hold a world boxing title. In 2024 and 2025, she successfully defended her title multiple times, cementing her reputation on the global stage.
Mea’s journey hasn’t been easy. She has openly shared her story of overcoming family violence, personal struggles, and deep self-doubt to rise to the very top of her sport. Her authenticity and strength have made her a role model for young people and a proud ambassador for Māori and Pasifika communities across Aotearoa.
On stage, Mea is raw, passionate, and deeply uplifting. She speaks from the heart about fighting for your dreams, the power of whānau and community, and what it really takes to get back up after life knocks you down.
Ideal for:
Youth empowerment and school programmes
Women’s leadership and sport events
Health, wellbeing, and resilience conferences
Community fundraisers and cultural events
Corporate motivation and team-building sessions
Mea leaves audiences fired up to face their own battles — showing them that no matter where you start, with courage and support, you can rise above anything.
