Lesotho's boxing team experienced a day of highs and lows at the AUSC Region 5 Youth Games, with one win, a disqualification, a loss, and one boxer left without an opponent.
Mvokelelo Snyman secured a victory for Team Lesotho in the menโs 57kg weight category. Snyman outclassed his Zambian opponent to win the bout by a 4:1 decision.
However, the day was not without setbacks. Keketso Maepe, fighting in the 48kg category, was forced to bow out after the referee stopped his contest due to an injury, nose bleed, awarding the win to his Namibian opponent via RSC (Referee Stopped Contest).
Adding to the teamโs woes, Reabetsoe Mokhitli, who was slated to fight in the 54kg category against a Malawian boxer, was disqualified after failing to meet the required weight limit.
In the women's division, Latoya Thakhisi, who was set to compete in the 70kg category, will not participate in the tournament. No other country submitted a boxer in her weight class, resulting in an automatic withdrawal due to the absence of an opponent.
