Kathmandu, August 28 Tribhuvan Army Club won the team championship title of the fourth Nationwide and first Novice Boxing Tournament here at the International Sports Complex today. TAC claimed 10 gold and three silver medals to lift the championship in senior category. They bagged six gold and two silver medals in men’s category and added four gold and one silver medals in the women’s section. Similarly, Kathmandu Youth Boxing Club and Naxal Boxing Club were the joint team champions in junior category. Both the teams claimed one each gold and silver medals and two bronze. Manohar Basnet of Jawalakhel Boxing Club defeated Gokul Gurung of Nepal APF Club to win the 81kg section gold medal in the last bout of the day. Basnet, who made his return to the ring earlier this month after almost two years, made it two in a row. “It was a hard-fought win and I got too tired at the end,” said Basnet. “I had done enough training, but I think I got tired because of lack of proper diet and may be because I had to lose four kilograms for the bout,” he said. Basnet, known as MaxB, had faced disciplinary action from Nepal Boxing Association that kept him out of the ring since he quit the national team training ahead of the 2014 Asian Games. He marked the ring return with a gold medal in the first Inter-club Valleywide Men’s Open Boxing Tournament on August 1.
