South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) boxer Callum Peters has won his Pacific Games final, earning qualification for Paris 2024.

Peters put in a dominant display to defeat Tongan Roman Viney by unanimous decision.

“The ticket to Paris is in my hands, it’s freaky, I feel like I’m dreaming,” Peters said.

“I’m so proud all of this hard work is paying off, 11 years now in the ring.

“I finally get the chance to represent my country and my people.

"All my thanks to mum and dad and the boys back home always helping and supporting me, even when times are hard - I can’t wait to see you and celebrate.”

The 20-year-old is one of six Australian boxers who earned qualification on day one of the Pacific Games finals.
