Tripoli, 22 November:
Tripoli’s first boxing tournament in more than three decades begins this evening, Thursday, in what used to be the capital’s official boxing hall before Qaddafi banned the sport in 1979.
Some ten newly formed Tripoli clubs will compete in the Akasha hall in the tournament, which has been organised by the new Boxing Federation and will run today and Friday.
