Quarterly

Challenges

1) Boxing Broadcast by Public Broadcaster and Pay Channel

2) Disputes by some Promoters Associations to comply with Regulation

in respect of Sanction Levies.

3) Inadequate resources to establish Boxing Committees at provincial

level or appoint Provincial Managers in all provinces.

4) Unaligned financial assistance by most municipalities when funding

boxing activities, resulting in funding that does not respond to BSA

priority areas.

5) A little pool of female boxers in most weight divisions resulting in

many repeat fights against same boxers
