Local boxers finally tasted action after a long dry spell due the suspension of sport. BUAN was the battleground for 16 bouts on Saturday for the Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) interclub tournament.

Some of the boxers are dreaming of qualifying for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Mmoloki Thipe of Prisons Boxing Club said he was excited to be back in the ring because his aim is to qualify for the Commonwealth. “I am proud of my performance today despite being the first tournament, I have improved a lot. I have a slight injury but that is not an excuse.

I have proven that I am one of the best boxers in the 60kg category,” he said. Thipe faced Treasure Moremi of DTCB. He explained he fought Moremi many times but this time around, he did not pick any improvement from him.
