Amateur boxing sensation, Mmusi Tswiigi, is on a winning spree this season, conquering every bout in various weight divisions – from 63kg to 67kg, 71kg, 75kg, and 81kg.

Highlighting the challenge of favouritism in boxing, Tswiigi noted the tendency to favour boxers in certain categories. Despite his victories, he expressed frustration with the national team selection process.
