The Government of Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province, invites the younger generation to achieve achievements while making the region proud through sports, especially boxing.
The Regent of Manokwari, Hermus Indou, in Manokwari, early Sunday, said that there are quite a lot of young people and boxing lovers in Manokwari considering that the capital city of West Papua Province has a long history with the sport.
"This invitation is at the same time to protect or protect our young generation from negative things that are detrimental to their own personalities," he said.
Apart from being a place to achieve achievements and make the region proud, he considered that sporting events such as boxing are also to meet the public's need for entertainment.
Hermus asked the boxing teams in Manokwari to continue to seek and manage the potential of the younger generation, especially in the future many sports events will be held such as the regional championship (Kejurda) which is planned to be held in Kaimana Regency.
The amateur boxing final event which was held at the Sanggeng Sports Building (GOR), West Manokwari District on Saturday (1/10) night was considered to be a reflection of the region in attracting talented young boxers who are ready to represent the region in the championship event and even the XXI National Sports Week (PON) in Aceh and North Sumatra.
"I am quite confident that our children will be able to participate in boxing championships at a higher level, so that we do not need to take athletes from other regions to strengthen our team going forward," said Hermus.
The chairman of the Amateur Boxing Association (Pertina) of Manokwari Regency, Jefry Reimas, confirmed that amateur boxing matches were one way to select athletes before participating in the championships.
"The results we hope for in the future with this amateur boxing event, we can get a high achievement for Manokwari Regency and later in the jury we don't want to go home empty-handed," explained Jefry.
Jefry revealed that the amateur boxing event, which has been held since September 23, 2022, was a trigger for Manokwari's boxing achievements to bounce back.
