Organizers of the first ever boxing league in the country, Yucateco Boxing Promotions, made another stop in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State for the South-south zone of the trials ahead of Season 2 boxing league, following successful national trials in Lagos.
The event held at the weekend at the state boxing gymnasium in Port-Harcourt attracted over 200 pugilists from across the country.
According to the technical director of the Yucateco boxing league Babatunde Laguda, the Port Harcourt trials is a mirror of what played out in Lagos during the south-west event at the National stadium in Surulere.
He said several talented boxers were spotted at the trials in Port Harcourt as expected and they gave a good account of themselves.
The Chief Executive Officer Yucateco boxing promotions, Honorable Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, said all is in place to ensure season 2 of the boxing league surpasses all that was achieved in the maiden edition.
To this end, twelve boxing clubs will participate in Season 2 of the boxing league which gets on the way later this month.
The outfit will also Kickstart the Yucateco Pan-African Boxing Championship in Togo on the 22nd of June 2024.
