SEMARANG (JP): The Indonesian Amateur Boxing Association
(Pertina) will send boxers to India from May 13 through May 16 to
improve their skills ahead of the Kuala Lumpur 2001 Southeast
Asian (SEA) Games.

"We will participate in a tournament commemorating the Indian
Amateur Boxing Federation's anniversary," Pertina's deputy
secretary-general, Didiet Soedijoto, announced on Tuesday.

"The host will cover all transportation and lodging expenses.
This is a good opportunity which will enable Pertina to save
money," he added.

Didiet said Pertina had also planned to sent boxers to Darwin
for a tryout.

"Pertina has yet to decide which boxers to send to which
event," he said without revealing the number of boxers to be
sent. (har)
