The Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) president, Gilbert Khunwane has said his organisation faced a challenging 2022/2023 boxing season. Khunwane was addressing BoBA affiliates at the association's annual general meeting (AGM) held at Sebele on Saturday.

He stated that the association only managed to host two inter-club tournaments because of financial constraints. Khunwane said up to this point they still await 2023/24 grant from the mother body, the Botswana National Sport Commission (BNSC).

But he expressed gratitude for the sponsorship from Debswana. “The 11th edition of the BoBA awards was held in May 2023. Debswana sponsored the awards to the tune of P412,000, an increase from last year’s P250,000. We would like to thank Debswana for the continued support,” he said.
