He then decided to pass on his love of boxing to aspirant boxers in his area, which is known for overcrowding, crime, unemployment, drugs and prostitution.
Speaking to Sowetan this week, Khosi used Owens's quote to describe the turn of events in his favour after the unheralded trainer guided unknown newcomer Simon Dladla to becoming the South African junior-middleweight champion on December 16.That was after Dladla had won the Gauteng title in Kagiso.Dladla came back from a knockdown by Khensamahosi Makondo, to give him a taste of his own medicine in the second round.
That fight - staged by Lebo Mahoko's Dream Team - took place at Intabazwe Community Hall in Harrismith in the Free State. Said Khosi:"I have groomed a number of boxers who were later taken away from me but I never gave up because boxing is my life. I always maintained that one day I will produce a champion if given the opportunity. Give me and my fighters that one chance."
