Amateur Boxing in Fiji could soon enter into exciting times after successful discussions held in the Cuban capital Havana by the Minister of Youth and Sports Commander Viliame Naupoto and his Cuban counter parts.

The Cuban Boxing Federation is now not only committed to sending boxing coaches to Fiji but to also train more coaches, administrators, technical officials and referees over a period of time.

Cuban Boxing President Alberto Barca revealed to Commander Naupoto that Cuba’s record, experience and knowledge of Amateur Boxing at the international level will be shared with Fiji.    

Commander Naupoto is accompanied by Boxing Commission member Malakai Veisamasama to Cuba.

A MOU is expected to be signed tomorrow.
