With PNG Games just two weeks away, provincial teams and clubs are hard at training preparing for these long-awaited games.
Here in Port Moresby, the Enga Port Moresby Based Combat Kickboxing Club is also gearing up in preparations for the PNG Games.
President Nelson Walen stated that some of his senior and top fighters will be representing Enga Province in the PNG Games which will be happening next year January 10th -20th 2024.
With the Club registering over 13 wins in all the fights this year and being winner of the raising of the Champion Kickboxing Showdown recently in Bomana, the boys are in their best form to boost team Enga in the Boxing and Kick Boxing tournaments.
Mr Walen is now extending the invitation to the Enga Base Boxing and Kick boxing Clubs whose fighters will be representing Enga Province to send their fighters down early and to get in touch with Port Moresby Base Enga Combat Club to have the fighters train together in preparation for the PNG Games.
“We want the Enga fighters to come down a week or two early so we can have some sessions together at our club.”
“We are here to support and raise the standard of Kick boxing and Boxing in Enga Province and it will be really nice to have all fighters’ camp together, train and have some spars in one spirit.”
Mr Wallen said they have a common aim, and that is to combat violence, abuse, and bad habits amongst youths in Enga and it will be good to stand united during the PNG Games and show the youth in Enga the better side of life that sports can offer then what is in the tribal war zones.
