Pertina beckons Bahari brothers

JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian amateur boxing association
(Pertina) has taken one step closer to settling its rift with the
Bahari brothers, Pino and Nemo.

The association has offered the leading boxers places in the
national team line-up for the Southeast Asian Games in December.

Pino and Nemo, products of their father Daniel's rigorous
boxing training, will be called to join the Indonesian team for
the 17th SEA Games in Chiang Mai, Thailand, if they agree to
train with their teammates in the capital, instead of in their
hometown of Denpasar.

"We have asked them to join the training session here by the
end of this month," the association's secretary-general Didiet
Soedijoto said on Wednesday. "If they fail to show up, we will
axe them," he warned. (amd)
