Boxing at the Arafura Games
The boxing competitions at the Arafura Games were held every two years from 1991 to 2011 (except for 2003) in the Australian city of Darwin . Women's competitions only took place in 2005 (in four), 2009 (in three) and 2011 (in nine weight classes ). Only boxers from the Asia - Pacific region were eligible to participate .
In 2003 the Arafura Games were canceled due to the SARS virus .
In 2013, no boxing matches were held, as the new prime minister of Territory Northern Territory (NT) Adam Giles looked at this sporting event to be too expensive. The following year, 2014, the NT announced that the Arafura Games would no longer take place for this reason.
Known tournament winners
The most famous tournament winners include the Australian WBA world light heavyweight champion Danny Green and the 1992 Olympic bronze medalist and silver medalist of the 1997 world light flyweight championship Roel Velasco .
