RONALD Serugo might have not won a medal at the recent world championship, but his two fights didn’t go unnoticed by world boxing body AIBA. Serugo is one of ten boxers selected by AIBA for a special training program for the next Olympics.

“I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected by AIBA for further training program for the 2012 Lon¬don Olympic games,” AIBA president Ching-Kuo wrote to Serugo.

The AIBA boss explained that Serugo’s selection fol¬lowed his performance at a training camp in Assisi Italy and the world champion¬ships.

AIBA particularly took note of Serugo’s technical level age, experience, motivation and willingness to succeed.

Serugo outclassed favourite Thomas Stubbs before con¬troversially losing to Korean Shin Jong Hun at the world meet in Milan.

Ching-Kuo said AIBA will develop a special training program for the Olympic qualifiers.

“It’s a great opportunity. I will definitely make the best of it,” promised Serugo.
