Early life

Patrick Pakuliki Mailata was born on 31 December 1994 in Apia, a son of Fuatino Letu'u and Tauleave Lekuala Auapa'au Mailata.[1] Growing up, Mailata was raised in the Samoan villages of Avao and A'ufaga before migrating to New Zealand along with his parents when he was only eight years old.[1] He lived in the South Auckland area, and was educated at Papakura High School, where he was head boy. Mailata excelled in rugby league, but suffered a knee injury that forced him to stop competing. He then discovered boxing and passed up offers from National Rugby League clubs to focus on the sport.[2]

Amateur career

Mailata participated at the

AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships at Armenia in 2012 but was disqualified for putting his head lower than his Cuban opponent's belt.[4]

At 18-years-of-age Mailata competed in

AIBA World Boxing Championships in Qatar.[8] He lost his first round matchup against Rafael Lima of Brazil.[9]

In 2016 Mailata missed out on qualifying for the

Astana Arlans.[14] He had his second successive win after an abandoned decision in round four against Marijan Brnic.[15]

Team Combat League

On May 23, 2024, for the Team Combat League boxing organization, Mailata knocked out former National Football League player and former UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy.[16] Mailata is currently on the Las Vegas Hustle team and has not lost a round with the team as of May 2024.[17]

Professional career

Early career

In late October 2018 it was revealed Mailata would turn professional after being announced as a feature on

technical knockout.[19] After signing a promotional agreement with Epic Sports and Entertainment in June 2019, it was announced he would make his United States debut in Las Vegas.[20] Mailata remained unbeaten after winning a second consecutive first-round knockout victory over Daniel Felix Franco in his first fight overseas.[21] The following month Mailata fought on the opening undercard bout of Cody Crowley versus Mian Hussain on UFC Fight Pass in Peterborough, Canada.[22] He then fought during December in Bulgaria against Ukrainian Pavlo Krolenko.[23]
