Chairman of PNG Referee and Judges Joe Efi, and Chairman for Hiri Boxing Association John Ono, facilitated the training.
The eight were certified as amateur boxing referees and judges are Simon Kusunan, Kisojau Sapak, Pethro Ismael, Shelinah Rake, Anisa Wulau, Vois Benedict, Len Meli and Steven Torima.
Efi said the training now allows New Ireland to host its own tournaments and conduct matches, without having to fly in technical expertise from Port Moresby to preside over matches.
