The Enugu State Boxing Association Board is seeking tax holidays for boxing tournament sponsors in the state. This move aims to encourage more organizations to promote and sponsor boxing events, ultimately growing the sport in Enugu State.
Motivating Sponsors
The board believes that offering tax incentives will motivate sponsors to get involved, making it easier for them to scout for tournament sponsors both within and outside the state. This move is expected to increase investment in boxing, providing more opportunities for young boxers to develop their skills.
Representing Enugu State
Currently, 10 male boxers have been selected to represent Enugu State in the forthcoming National Sports Festival in Ogun, scheduled for May. The board is confident that with the right support, these boxers can bring glory to the state.
Global Boxing Developments
This development comes as World Boxing has published its competition calendar for 2025, featuring four World Boxing Cup Events and the inaugural World Boxing Championships 2025 for Elite men and women. As the sport continues to grow globally, Enugu State is positioning itself to be a major player in Nigerian boxing.
A Bright Future for Boxing
With the Enugu State Boxing Association Board’s initiative, the future of boxing in the state looks promising. By attracting more sponsors and investment, the sport can continue to thrive, providing opportunities for young boxers to succeed.
