Botswana’s women boxing on the rise 

Botswana’s future in boxing seems to be lying on the distaff side as women continue to rake in medals for the country at international competitions.

Roughly a month ago, a female boxer Lethabo Modukanele became Botswana’s only competitor to earn an individual medal at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. 

Modukanele earned a bronze at the competition after advancing to the semifinals of the women’s minimum weight category. This also ensured that she became Botswana’s first female boxer to win the country a medal at the Commonwealth Games.
