Hammond throws in the towel

Caroline Magenga Sports Reporter
ANOTHER boxing chief, Ed Hammond, has thrown in the towel. His resignation, from the boxing board of control, comes just days after secretary-general Gilbert Munetsi also called it quits.

“It is with profound sadness that I hereby tender my resignation from the Boxing Board of Control,” Hammond said.

“This decision has not been taken lightly. I have been involved in boxing since 1952 and I have represented Zimbabwe as a fighter and as the national amateur coach.

“I echo a lot of Gilbert’s sentiments, the treatment of Charles Manyuchi is appalling and it is a very bitter pill to swallow.

“I do not feel comfortable sitting on the board of control when I am not able to assist Charles who has brought great honour to Zimbabwe and to boxing,” he said.
