The dilemma arose when Kasemang, an amateur boxer until recently, took part in a professional bout in Johannesburg. In her debut professional fight, Kasemang defeated South Africa’s Raider Muleba.

BoBA secretary-general, Taolo Tlouetsile said there has been no solution on the matter yet. “We met other sports structures including the athlete, her club, BNOC, and coaches so we can't give a time frame.
