Names of the five people appointed to the Boxing Commission of Fiji board will be announced soon.

Principal Sports Officer Sakaraia Tuva said the Minister for Youth and Sports Filipe Bole will make the announcement once all necessary vetting is completed.

He said approval has been given for the five names submitted by the Ministry of Youth and Sports for the Boxing Commission of Fiji board membership to the Prime Minister's Office.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports will first form the board and then the local promoters will be given the chance to stage their boxing programmes in the country.
