KATHMANDU: All Nepal Sports Association is organising the Prakash Dahal Memorial National Boxing Tournament at the Lainchaur covered hall from June 27 to July 1.

The tournament features nine weight categories in men’s section and eight in women’s section, informed the organisers at a press meet on Thursday.

“We are hoping for tough competitions as we will be bearing the travel and accommodation costs for all the semi-finalists,” said ANSA President Arjun Bahadur KC.

The top three boxers in all weight categories will also receive cash rewards.

Nepal Boxing Association President Ram Awale said such tournaments would be helpful in the overall development of the sport.
