The 25-year-old athlete has navigated challenges in balancing his training with other responsibilities, yet he expresses gratitude toward his family and coach for their enduring support, which drives him to excel in the sport.
Saratibau, who earned a bronze medal at the 2023 Pacific Games and participated in the Paris Olympic Qualifiers in Thailand, approaches his journey with humility. “I still have so much to learn, and I have learned a lot in this sport. My parents and coaches have really pushed me to my limits,” he shared, indicating his eagerness for the upcoming USA tour.
Joining Saratibau is an elite team from Fiji’s Amateur Boxing community, reflecting a broader positive trend in the nation’s boxing scene.
