Boxing federation postpones championship Financial constraints have forced the Namibia Boxing Federation (NBF) to postpone its championship that was scheduled for this weekend. The championship to be held in the Kunene Region.
NBF spokesman Robert Haihambo said: “The decision to postpone the championship comes against the backdrop of a national financial tightening as the government shifts its expenditure priorities.
“As the federation''s main stakeholder, the government has supported the federation throughout the implementation of most of its calendar programmes.
“In efforts to avoid over-dependence on state funding and to create alternative sources of funding the federation has engaged the corporate world and business community to fund the championship, this did not yield the expected results,” he said, adding that the federation had built crucial relationships in the process.
A new date for the championship has not been announced.
