The 11-year-old, who is the 2018 Australian Bushmen's Campdraft and Rodeo Association (ABCRA) Under-8 to 11 steer ride champion, isn't afraid of setting down a challenge to himself.
"Levi doesn't hesitate when I ask him, he wants to win it all," Levi's father Dean told the Argus.
"But he will be happy with an improvement on his position from last year."
The Telegraph Point Public School student will compete in the same division as last year, the Under-14 junior bull competition, and Dean claims Levi has improved over the past 12 months.

"Levi is always outside training and working hard to get better at what he does and competes nearly ever weekend so he's always improving," Dean said.
"He has gotten a lot bigger and stronger too."
It will be a short trip to the United States, as Levi will only compete at the World Finals in early August before returning to Australia.
The boy from Kundabung has continued his excellent form into 2019 and is the current leader of the ABCRA Under-8 to 11 steer riding and barrel race and the Under-18 all-round junior cowboy.
A raffle and auction night will be held at the Kempsey-Macleay Bowling and Sporting Club next Friday May 31 to help raise funds for the trip.
