The 14-year-old claimed three world titles at the International Sports Karate Association (ISKA) World Cup, fending off the best competitors from across the globe.
Levi won the Clash Sparring, Sword Combat and Wrestling events while he finished in second place in the Continuous Sparring and fourth in Point Sparring in the Under 13 years boys Advanced Black Belts division.
The Year 9 St Paul’s College student has also excelled in the boxing ring last year.
Levi became the Australian Schoolboys Golden Gloves Champion in the Under 15, 52kg Division before his 14th birthday and he will remain eligible for the same event this year.
Levi continued to make a name for himself as an amateur boxer, winning the Northern Beaches belt in Sydney in December.
It’s a long list of accolades for the aspiring professional boxer and Levi has returned to training to continue his momentum into 2018.
The Kempsey Macleay RSL Club presented Levi with a $500 voucher to spend at their restaurant.
