Carrying hopes of thousands of people for the revival of boxing in the Free State has forced promoter Lebo Mahoko, who is from the province, to be creative.
Mahoko, the only promoter who is currently representing Free State, announced yesterday that he will stage two tournaments in one night on September 30 as part of Macufe Festival in Bloemfontein.
“It’s about unearthing talent, my brother,” he said yesterday. “If I don’t look after these upcoming fighters who will give them four and six rounds? In fact, their careers may end before they even begin because they will only be given fights outside Free State as opponents. I mean, people here rely on me to unearth the Joseph Lalas and David Fingers of yesteryear, so I had to think out of the box.
Interestingly, Sihle Jelwana, who has become a stepping stone to many young fighters, has also been given the opportunity to redeem himself against Thabang Ramagole. Dlamini is rated No 6 by the WBC in the featherweight division. In the main supporting contest, SA middleweight champion John “Section 29” Bopape will face Congolese James Mbiya Kanku for the ABU title.
