Boxing national team coach, Thebe Setlalekgosi is pulling no punches ahead of the Africa Boxing Championships which got underway in Maputo yesterday (Thursday) and runs until September 18.

A team of 10 boxers left by road on Thursday destined for the Mozambique capital. Setlalekgosi said the most important thing when going to a championship is the mindset, adding the team going to Maputo is in good physical shape but lacks mental readiness.

Setlalekgosi said in boxing, the mindset constitutes 60% and the physical aspect only needs 40%. “Boxing is an individual sport and it is up to you as an individual as to what you want to achieve.
