ESWATINI BOXING TARGETS MORE INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

MBABANE – Eswatini Boxing Association (EBA) is humbled by its continuous penetration into the global boxing community.

This comes after Correctional Boxing Club Coach; Mpendulo Mbingo was on Thursday appointed as a member of the Africa Boxing Confederation (AFBC) Coaches Committee. EBA President Webster Lukhele said that they were excited by this year’s milestone, where three of their administrators joined the continental and international boxing communities.

“We’re grateful for this. The association tries by all means to make the country to be recognised within the continental and international boxing family. The goal is to have a representative across all structures including in refereeing,” Lukhele said. EBA this year saw Pearl Dlamini being appointed as the International Boxing Association (IBA) Board member, while Lukhele was also elevated to the position of AFBC Board member. Meanwhile, Eswatini top boxer Thabiso Dlamini snatched a one-year training scholarship in Russia.

The EBA president said he believed that Mbingo’s appointment would be beneficial to the country immediately as he starts interacting with other colleagues in the board. He said he would learn then impart knowledge to the country which will strengthen local coaching while also advocating for more opportunities to help Eswatini.
