BISA turns to the north for boxing talent

Lechedzani Master Luza, the BISA national boxing coordinator, said the northern region has been neglected for a long time despite having many potential boxers with the right attributes.Speaking to Mmegi Sport after conducting a coaching clinic at Goldmine JSS over the weekend, Luza said young boxers in the area should be helped sharpen their boxing skills.

"We have got aspiring boxers in the north. They have shown passion in boxing and have got the potential of starting a career in the sport, while continuing with their studies," said the former Olympian.He said the northern region has not been performing well at BISA national competitions. This is despite the fact that the aspiring boxers from the northern part of the country have a natural body structure of a boxer.
