The ladies section has Grace Tebulo (finweight) whereas the kids’ category has Beauty Daffrece (female) and Prescious Manyengo (male).

The Eastern Region team will be represented by Innocent Kathumba (finweight), Dyson Tsegula (flyweight), Irvin Tengani (welterweight) and Eric Kumbambe (lightweight) while the Central Region will send Irvin Msukwa (finweight), Simbi James (flyweight), Oxon Banda (welterweight), Friday Chapola (lightweight) and Hassan Aris (light heavyweight) alongside male kid Henry Isaiah Mzonda.

The North will rely on Joseph Phiri (finweight), Gerald Sichinga (flyweight), Chifundo Kamanga (welterweight), Hassan Wasili (lightweight), Hassan Gondwe (light heavyweight) and Schubert Kaunda (heavyweight). Their kids section will comprise Thokozile Kamanga (female) and Brave Kamanga (male).
