Since the government declared the national lockdown at the end of March the sport has come to a standstill because the boxing community heeded the official announcement.
BSA’s Director of Operations Cindy Nkomo said the government will decide when boxing activities will be resumed. She said BSA officials have visited boxing gyms to help with implementing government protocols and regulations so that facilities could be declared ‘safe’. “It’s been devastating for some because many boxers rely solely on the sport for an income,” said Fernandez. “Many of them are also their family’s sole breadwinners.
“BSA officials have been to my gym to check out the facilities and what I have done to ensure that all protocols have been heeded. Now we’re just waiting to hear from BSA what the outcome is but right now the situation has worsened because of the spike of the infection rate in Gauteng.”
