FRANCISTOWN: Over five young boxers from the Francistown Boxing Club did not disappoint as they stepped into the ring to wild cheers at the second Inter-Club Boxing tournament last Saturday afternoon held at the Botswana Defence Force's (BDF) Donga Hall.

In the 52 kilograms category, 20 year old Phenyo Mapitse defeated Botswana Meat Commission's (BMC) Onkabetse Kelapile 10-7, while Morena Modise of Glen Valley Boxing Club had to be saved by the referee as another Francistown youngster, Kemmonye Mabutho (18), proved a handful for the visitor.

Another Francistown boxer, 22 year old Bokamoso Molaodi, was unstoppable against David Gakewaope of SSKB, whom he defeated in a closely contested fight in the 56 kilograms category.
