New Zealand boxer David Nyika appealed today for the return of the heavyweight gold medal he won at last month's Commonwealth Games after it was stolen from his car in Auckland.
Nyika said he was taking the medal to show a young fan at a school in the city when he realised thieves had snatched it from his vehicle.
"At first I was quite embarrassed about it, but now I'm just angry," the 22-year-old told TVNZ.
"I just want the medal back. It's almost worthless to anyone but me, you know, so I really hope I can get it back."
"Our priority is to return this medal to its rightful owner."
