The Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) together with Debswana hosted the 2019-2022 boxing awards at the Ditshupo Hall this past weekend.

The two partners have been enjoying a 10-year relationship. Debswana had earlier on in the week sponsored the awards ceremony to the tune of P250,000. Athletes came out to play looking incredible but also nervous, understandably so.
