In Conversation With Reamogetse Molapisi Boxing Club Chairperson

The Wits Boxing Club is one of the university’s competitive and developmental sports structures, offering students an opportunity to engage in boxing both as a competitive sport and as a fitness and discipline-focused activity. Operating under Wits Sport, the club caters for students with varying levels of experience — from complete beginners who want to learn boxing fundamentals, to experienced amateur boxers aiming to compete at intervarsity and provincial levels.
Boxing at university level is not only about competition; it also plays a role in physical conditioning, mental resilience, self-discipline, and stress management, all of which are particularly important for students navigating academic pressure. The Wits Boxing Club provides structured training sessions that focus on boxing technique, conditioning, strength, footwork, and tactical awareness, while also prioritising safety through proper supervision, controlled sparring, and adherence to boxing regulations.
