The championships will be a weekly affair every Friday at the Prisons Canteen, Accra, till the regional championships begin later next month.

This, he said, will also be a platform for selecting boxers for next year's international competition against their counterparts from the United States of America.
"This is also a good platform for boxers who graduated from the Novice championships to pitch their strength against some improved colleagues before the championships proper."
