The two top the first bill in ESPN Africa’s return to the sport since they operated under the Fox Sport banner a few yeas ago.
It’s a reason few people at Wednesday’s weigh-in at the EFC High Performance Institute in Rivonia were buying, least of all Sibiya, who hails from Siyabuswa in KwaNdebele but lives in Soweto with his wife and five daughters. “The SA title can change your life,” said Sibiya, who was stopped in his first attempt by Zolani Marali in 2005, and then lost on points to Jasper Seroka in 2015 and to Phila Mpontshane twice, in 2018 and 2019.
Sibiya’s record of 23 wins , 16 losses and five draws paints him as the opponent rather than the star attraction, but his breed as a bona fide journeyman is dying out., and it fits him like a well-earned crown, though he points out he is not even the oldest boxer in his gym — it's Bongani Mahlangu, 42.
