A total of 316 boxers from 34 countries have entered this year’s African Games boxing tournament in Accra.
A delighted secretary general of the African Boxing Confederation told AFBC Communications he’s impressed by the increased number of participants and expressed optimism of more countries likely to confirm before the deadline tomorrow (February 28).
AFBC will be in charge of the boxing tournament in Accra in conjunction with the organising committee.
