Gov. Togiola
Tulafono appointed seven new members of the newly former Territorial
Boxing Commission.
According to
the governor's Mar. 10th general memorandum, Unasa Leroy Ledoux,
Maiava Hunkin and George Tanoa will each serve for three years;
John Tuitele and Tunatunaolelupelele Ma'ae will be on it for
two years while Roy Ausage and Tofaeono Dr. Victor Williams are
to serve one year terms.
The governor
also appointed Ledoux as commission chairman.
"With their
notable support and interest for the sport of boxing, I am confident
that they will competently execute the responsibilities of their
new appointments," the governor said.
Local law states
that the commission is to meet at least 4 times a year for the
purpose of transacting business and the said meetings are to
be held in January, April, July and October. The chairman can
also call special meetings after giving a five-day notice to
commission members.
The commission
shall have power to, among other things, cooperate with organizations
and individuals engaged in the promotion and control of boxing;
supervise and regulate all boxing contests and training exhibitions
in connection therewith for prizes or purses or where an admission
is charged or received.
No person (which
includes organization and corporation) may promote, manage, conduct,
hold, give, or participate in any boxing exhibition or contest
without a license from the commission, local statutes says.
