While this has been the commemorative event for the Fuzzy Wazzy Angels, it also presents the opportunity for PNG Boxers to secure spots at the Olympic Qualifying fights in Thailand.
Papua New Guinea Boxing Union President, Dr Gideon Kendino said one or two fighters would be selected from the Kokoda Challenge to join the team of boxers for the Olympic Qualifiers to be held in Thailand.
Four eligible boxers, three male and one female boxer have already been selected for the Olympic Qualification fight to be staged in Thailand later in the year.
