Our boys at the OTR boxing event 🥊🥊

Well done to Wesley on his very first fight! He stepped into the ring with confidence and showed real skill, looking like a seasoned boxer. Rufaro faced a last-minute opponent change which made for a challenging fight and unfortunately the results didn't go his way.

We're super proud of both our fighters!! 💪
Keep working, keep learning and keep pushing forward. 🔥🔥
