Boxers prepare for Olympics

The four are; Khumiso Ikgopoleng (54kg), Thato Batshegi (57kg), Gaolatlhe Mpotsang (60kg) and Hebert Nkabiti (64kg).

Ikgopoleng, Batshegi and Nkabiti need no introduction as they have proved their mettle in the past. Mpotsang is a new boxer who made waves towards the end of last year when he outclassed favourite Gomotsang Gaasite in a closely contested bout during the Keone Mooka Mageu Championships. It remains to be seen how he fares at international level against established African boxers. Those who know Mpotsang say he is capable of pulling a surprise as his performance has been improving in every competition.
