WITH boxing now gaining prominence in the country, local referee and promoter for Chris Junior Boxing Club, Angels Simasiku, is left with a challenge of raising close to N$100 000 to attend a boxing seminar.
Once the funds are raised it will be able to cater for his flight tickets and accommodation while in Puerto Rico.
Simasiku stated the seminar is offered by the Association of Boxing Commission and once they pass their examination, they become ultimately certified.
He explained that the seminar is important as they will gain the needed skills and knowledge that can be transferred to boxers in the country.
“With the knowledge I am going to get, I will bring it here for a Namibian child to be able to connect with the rest of the world,” he said.
Simasiku is among three people invited to attend the seminar.
Hence, he will be hosting a fundraising boxing bonanza on the 15th of October in Ondangwa, with the hope of raising the needed funds for his trip.
