Ali Lai-Carlyle, an amateur boxer representing both New Zealand and Victoria, has the opportunity to compete in Brussels and/or Lithuania as part of an international development opportunity. This trip will allow Ali to gain valuable international experience and give her the best preparation for the upcoming world championships.

Over the past few years, Ali has built an impressive record, including:

2x NZ National Champion

1x NZ Best Female Boxer

1x Australian Silver Medallist

1x Golden Gloves Gold Medallist

1x Australian Club Championships Gold Medallist

2x Victorian State Champion

Victorian Representative in Singapore

NZ Representative at the Super 8s

In a sport where opportunities like this are rare — especially for women — Ali is determined to make the most of it. However, as with many amateur sports, costs for travel, accommodation, and competition are not covered.

We’re looking for support to help fund this trip and give Ali the chance to represent her clubs, states, and countries on the international stage.

Whether you’re able to contribute financially, share the campaign, or help connect Ali with potential sponsors, all support is appreciated.

How You Can Help:

Whether you’re a supporter of women in sport, a local business looking to sponsor a future champion, or someone who believes in chasing big dreams — your contribution will go directly toward helping Ali make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is more than a trip — it’s a stepping stone to international competition, future championships, and representing her country on the biggest stages.

Every donation, share, or word of support counts.

Thank you.
