The Professional Boxing Association of Botswana (PBAB) has hit a jackpot, as it has received from government a record grant that will be allocated to five promoters in good standing.

For the first time since its inception in 2016, the pugilism body got a P500,000 grant from the Ministry of Sport and Arts (MOSA).
