Africa Youth Games gold medalist, Mohammed Otukile will be amongst favourites tomorrow

The national boxing team would square with their Namibian counterparts in the Independence Cup tournament to be held tomorrow at the Botho University hall. The one-day tournament is being used as part of the country’s gold jubilee independence celebrations.

Speaking to Mmegi Sport yesterday, the team’s coach Lechedzani ‘Master’ Luza said despite assembling a relatively new team, he is optimistic they will put up a good fight on Saturday.
