Worry over boxers' without medical reports

Thingwane said there is a tendency of boxers taking part in competitions without medical records as per International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) regulations. He was speaking at the Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Mogoditshane over the weekend. 

Thingwane is concerned that boxers put their lives at risk and blamed tournament organisers for allowing them to compete without medical records. "We should always make sure that our boxers are fit," he advised. He said medical history is a very sensitive issue and must be treated with care and urgency.  He wanted to know who carries the responsibility between clubs and the association when a boxer gets injured in a competition. He asked who is responsible for making sure boxers have regular medical check-ups.
