Plodzicki-Faoagali is based in Sydney, Australia.[4]

He competed at the 2019 Pacific Games, where he won gold in the light heavyweight division.[5] The Covid-19 pandemic meant that he was not able to compete in any international tournaments in the leadup to the 2020 Olympics,[6] but was able to train in Australia alongside fello samoan boxer Marion Ah Tong.[7] At the Olympics he was defeated by Belarusian Uladzislau Smiahlikau in his first fight.[8][9]

Following the 2020 Olympics he focused on selection for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.[10] On 14 July 2022 he was selected as part of Samoa's team for the games.[11][12] At the games he defeated Grenada's Andy Andall to win a place in the heavyweight semi-final.[13] He was defeated by Lewis Williams for which the score was 5-0, being awarded the silver medal.[14][15]

He holds two matai titles: Tupuola from Sa’aga, Siumu and Seua’i from Tuana'i.[16]
