Boxing SA is fully behind the emerging trend of celebrity fights and exhibitions bouts.

While there have already been a few in other parts of the globe, in SA there has been only one, with rap star Cassper Nyovest, real name Refiloe Phoolo, and a YouTuber who goes by the name Slik Talk.

Boxing SA’s director of operations Mandla Ntlanganiso says in principle, the body supports any innovation that helps better the position and profile of the sport in the country. Regarding the issue of safety — which includes security and police, hospital and public insurance which are a prerequisite in the organisation of a professional boxing tournament — he said these remain as compliance requirements for any promoter of any events in terms of the Safety at Sports and Recreation Events Act 2 of 2010.

“An opportunity exist here to develop a programme and project for our veterans to earn money in some of these exhibition fights and/or tournaments. What remains will only be how the regulator derives value while increasing their footprint among the magnitude of potential new niche of fans/supporters who follow these celebrities.”

There's no need for interference please BoxingSA. This is all about fun and we know your tendencies of squandering monies destined for the Athletes. So please back off from this one. Focus on reviving Boxing in South Africa and I don't know how will you achieve that with Nathi🤞🏽
