KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Amateur Boxing Federation (MABF) are expected to send SEA Games gold medallist Mohd Farkhan Mohd Haron to undergo training in Cuba, as preparations for the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India, scheduled in October.
MABF secretary-general Major Maulud Othman said the training and preparations in Cuba was important as the federation hopes to win a gold in New Delhi.
He added that MABF's request to send him for training in Cuba had been approved by the National Sports Council while MABF hopes to enroll Mohd Farkhan with the Thailand team that was undergoing training in Cuba.
"If everything goes according to plan, Mohd Farkhan will start his training by June. It will certainly be a worthwhile experience for the boxer," he told Bernama on Tuesday.
During the Laos SEA Games last year, Mohd Farkan ended the country's 42-year wait for a gold medal.
Malaysia last won a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games through Sapok Biki, during the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games here.
