The same age and weight set rule will apply in the inaugural Under-19 Boxing Championships at New Ziwani Market Hall in Nakuru this weekend.
It means boxers of the same age and weight qualify to box each other as opposed to the same weight but different age boxing one another, as has always been in normal matches, a statute by International Boxing Association (IBA).
Coordinator Martin Luther said they’ll be applying World Boxing (WB) rules in this tournament with an aim to encourage more youngsters to venture into the sport.
