Four boxers competed in the 67kg, two boxed in the 75kg, while another two boxers competed in the 86kg.


Coach Adeoti pointed out that 35 out of the 69 boxers registered for the trials have successfully qualified for the next round of trials scheduled to take place soon.


She added that the state would compete in the 25 category bouts highlighted for the festival, with 12 female and 13 male boxers respectively.
