The Botswana Boxing Association (BoBA) together with Debswana hosted the 2019-2022 boxing awards at the Ditshupo Hall this past weekend.

The two partners have been enjoying a 10-year relationship. Debswana had earlier on in the week sponsored the awards ceremony to the tune of P250,000. Athletes came out to play looking incredible but also nervous, understandably so.

Gaseitsewe Ponatshego scooped the Judge of the Year award while Referee of the Year award went to Etsogile Ngwako.

Former boxer, France Mabiletsa was named the Administrator of the Year. The Affiliate of the Year award went to the University of Botswana Boxing Club while Lechezani Master Luza bagged the Coach of the Year award. The Female Boxer of the Year award went to Keamogetse Kenosi while Rajab Mohammed walked away with Male Boxer of the Year award.
