Maateiwarangi Heta-Morris (Te Arawa; Ngāti Awa; Ngā Puhi) holds the National record for bench press and has been the Aotearoa Arm Wrestling Champion since 2012. His stature and strength has earing him the moniker of 'The Beast'.

Maateiwarangi started out arm wrestling on rubbish bins in High School in Rotorua, and credits his journey in the sport as saving his life.

With a combined social media following in the hundreds of thousands, Maateiwarangi is making a huge impact outside the relatively close-knit community of the sports he excels in. This is in large part due to his dedication to giving back and mentoring those coming through the ranks.

When he isn’t dominating his chosen sports, Maateiwarangi can be found performing tā moko tattooing at his studio in Hamilton.
