Ledua noted the importance of reviewing their performances to rectify mistakes for the upcoming matches. He stated, “Police is a tough side with more experienced boxers, but we came to compete and will return even stronger for the finals.”
He thanked his boxers for their diligent preparation leading up to the tournament and encouraged them to continue their hard work as they aim for victory in the subsequent matches. “We are hopeful for the best outcomes in day two and three,” Ledua added.
The boxing competition continues today, promising an exciting finish as the teams vie for top honors. With spirited performances on display, this event not only showcases the athleticism and skill of the competitors but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and community pride among the participants and their supporters.
