The Khomas Boxing Federation (KBF) has heaped praise on the MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy and the MTC Salute Boxing Academy for their support towards amateur boxers.

This is after the rival academies donated food and hand sanitiser to the value of N$70 000 to those affected by the coronavirus pandemic in Katutura last week. KBF public relations officer Zesora Tjipe said the donations came in handy given the difficult times boxers are facing. “KBF would like to give a word of thanks to the MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy and the MTC Salute Boxing Academy for supporting amateur boxers in these hard times. “We are really happy to see the boxing academies standing up and giving out a helping hand to the future champions,” Tjipe said.

Keep fit

The federation also urged amateur boxers to remain positive and hopeful that things will get back to normal after the coronavirus is defeated. “We would like to use this opportunity to tell the boxers to keep fit.

“They must also commit to the national lockdown regulations by staying at home and sanitising their hands at all times,” Tjipe added.



Support

KBF also expressed gratitude towards sport minister Agnes Tjongarero for being supportive towards boxing. “Her speech was very motivational for many who are hopeless and we just want her to know that we appreciate what she has been doing for sport and boxing in general.”
