JAKARTA (JP): Only 12 of the 28 boxers called by the
Indonesian Amateur Boxing Association (Pertina) for the Kuala
Lumpur 2001 SEA Games showed up at the Ragunan boxing camp in
South Jakarta.

"I don't know why the other boxers haven't come yet. The
official announcements were sent to the Pertina provincial
chapters in the places where they live," Pertina's technical
commission head Ferry Moniaga was quoted as saying by Antara on
Thursday.

"Pertina, however, will give the remaining 16 boxers until
Nov. 8 to join the camp. We have no other choice but to replace
them with others if they fail to meet the deadline," he added.

Indonesia will send boxers in all boxing weight classes except
the super heavyweight class in the Games.

Ferry said most of the boxers were champions in the Surabaya
National Games (PON). (nvn)
