Association Postpones Boxing Tourney
The Lagos State Boxing
Association has postponed the March edition of the monthly Amateur Boxing Bout.
The postponement is as a result of the upcoming presidential elections, scheduled for March 28.
The Chairman of the association, Olawale Edun, told newsmen in a telephone interview that boxers should look forward to the April edition of the event.
He said that the competition had taken a championship status, where winners of different categories would meet at the end of the year to determine state champions.
“We have to put it off to enable our boxers and officials participate in the election as it is part of their civic responsibility.
“I want to advise boxers to train ahead of the April edition as it promises to be a 12-bouts contest.
“Our boxers are doing well and there is need to improve on what is on ground with constant tournaments,” Edun said.
