Prisons Boxing Club are the champions of the Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) National Championships held at the University of Botswana over the weekend. The club accumulated 14 points ahead of Mafika with 12 points while Eastern Military Garrison (EMG) finished third with nine points.

Prisons coach, Buwembo Sande Mpigi was nominated best coach following his club’s brilliant performance. He told Mmegi Sport yesterday that the result is an indication of hardwork, which began last year. He said in the last national championships, Prisons had only two boxers in the semi-final.

“This was not an overnight thing. We have been planning for it and the outcome of our plan is brilliant. My boxers are always ready for a challenge and to learn. I want to groom them into some of the best boxers in the country,” Mpigi said. He said Prisons boxers who failed to qualify for the finals were just unfortunate because they gave their all. He said the plan now is to start preparing for next year. Mpigi said they want to have at least five boxers in the next BoBA national championships.
