Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The country\u2019s junior lady boxer Veliswa Magaya has jetted out of the country through the King Mswati III International Airport to New Delhi, India for the IBA Women\u2019s World Championships.<\/b><\/p>\n

Organised by the International Boxing Association (IBA), the 2023 Women\u2019s World Boxing Championship will be the 13th edition of the championships from 16 to 26 March 2023.<\/p>\n

Magaya, who won a bronze medal at the 2021 Africa Union Sports Council (AUSC) Region 5 Youth Games, stands to strike it reach if she makes a podium finish in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

IBA has confirmed a lucrative prize fund of US$2.4m (approximately E43.7 million) for the World Championships. The current United States Dollar and Lilangeni rate is 18.21.<\/p>\n

Gold medal-winners in each of the 12 weight categories will receive US$100,000 (about E1.8 million), ensuring a bumper reward for finishing top of the podium. Boxers who finish as runners-up in their categories will collect US$50,000 (approximately E910 500), while athletes who claim bronze will receive US$25,000 (approximately E455 250).<\/p>\n

Eswatini Boxing Association (EBA) President Webster Lukhele said Veliswa was one of their top boxers.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is outstanding and we got funding from IBA and we are reaping the fruits of having Pearl Dlamini on the IBA Board of Directors and me on the AfBC Board. Also, the biggest thanks goes to the Eswatini Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association for catering for the athlete\u2019s allowance and uniform which amounted to E17 000,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

AfBC is the acronym for Africa Boxing Commission.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s boxing showpiece will take place at the 6 000-seat K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall with the sport\u2019s brightest stars and biggest talents from 77 countries, including Eswatini having confirmed their participation at the event.<\/p>\n

Several medal-winners from the 2022 IBA Women\u2019s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul will be in action, including Algeria\u2019s Imane Khelif, Argentina\u2019s Aldana Florencia Lopez, Brazil\u2019s Beatriz Ferreira and Caroline De Almeida, Chinese Taipei\u2019s Lin Yu-Ting and Colombia\u2019s Ingrid Lorena Valencia Victoria.<\/p>\n

Among other athletes who finished on the podium last year, including Italy\u2019s Irma Testa, Kazakhstan\u2019s Karina Ibragimova, Turkiye\u2019s Elif Guneri, Mozambique\u2019s Alcinda Helena Panguana and Rady Adosinde Gramane, Morocco\u2019s Khadija Mardi, Bulgarian Sevda Asenova will also compete.<\/p>\n

The Championships will feature a comeback of World and Olympic champion Estelle Mossely from France, who turned professional in 2018.<\/p>\n
