Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Hosts Erongo won the National Boxing Championship held in Swakopmund on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Khomas took second place followed by the Uniform Forces in third place.<\/p>\n

All 14 regions participated.<\/p>\n

Namibia Boxing Federation secretary general Petrus Kashango commended the quality of boxing showcased, especially the inclusion of female boxers for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must say that witnessing so many talented boxers today gave me confidence that Namibian boxing is in safe hands. The competition was outstanding with boxers from various regions, and I must highlight that the female boxers competing was one of the standout moments for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The championship served as a qualifying event for various international competitions scheduled for the year, including the African Games, which serve as qualifiers for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

To ensure that the talent does not go to waste, Kashango pleaded for more amateur tournaments \u2013 at least twice every two months \u2013 to cultivate and nurture the talents appropriately.<\/p>\n

\u201cObserving the abundance of exceptional boxers today has reinforced the need for more than just a single tournament to sustain the development of talent. With the emergence of promising boxers from the far north, it would be a waste of talent not to provide them with tournaments to showcase their skills.<\/p>\n

As individuals in positions of authority, it is our responsibility to ensure that young boxers receive the necessary competition every few months to gauge their progress,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
