Boxers still to be licenced

The board is supposed to give licences to boxers, managers, promoters and trainers for them to have some contracts.
Chairman of Deltaforce Sports Trust, David Musonda, believes they need the board’s support to revive boxing as a major sporting discipline in the country.

“As Deltaforce, we are trying to resuscitate boxing, as a sport, but the board is making life difficult for us as they are supposed to take the first step,” said Musonda.
“For us to enter into contracts we should have licenses as doing that without licenses will not give credit to us as stakeholders to the sponsors.

“It is the board, which should act first, so that we can have direction as we cannot enter into contracts without licences.
“It is clear that to be a boxer, a promoter or a boxing manager you should be licensed to do so and it is the mandate of the board to do so.”

There has been communication, between the Board and the trust, though. The board formally communicated with Deltaforce Sports Trust in a letter delivered on 24 March 2013, in which the Board has given their conditions to sanction of the Deltaforce WBU Tournament set for June 29.
