The Boxing Federation of Tanzania (BFT) is preparing to host another international coaching training program later this year, aimed at strengthening the skills of local boxing coaches.
Recently, BFT conducted a training session led by Dr. Gabriel Martelli, chief instructor of the World Boxing Association and the European Boxing Association.
