It is worth mentioning that the decade 1980-1990 is pivotal in the annals of South African boxing.

This decade produced excellent fighters who would later become the flowers of the golden age of South African boxing .This is a huge part of the history of South African boxing.Boxing authorities played a huge part in the putsch to have South African boxing recognised in the global boxing family after the demise of apartheid.

Board members of BSA, the regulatory body, criss-crossed the world and attended many boxing conventions, promoting South African boxing. On the home front, BSA's symbiosis with the South African National Boxing Organisation , the amateur mother body, resulted in many star amateurs turning pro and consequently becoming world champions of note.

In collaboration with the national department of sport and recreation, boxing authorities lobbied the World Boxing Council to hold its annual convention in SA in 1996. To a greater or larger extent, the transition of professional boxing from strong-arm tactics of the past regime to the effervescent and democratic order of the day was brought about by men and women who were dedicated to boxing.
