Despite being dumped unceremoniously by Zolani Tete, Joyce Kungwane is going ahead with her international boxing tournament on Saturday.

It was confirmed in a briefing last month that Tete was to make his comeback in the main event of TLB’s “Return of the big Guns” tournament at Ingwenyama Sports Resort in White River, Mpumalanga, on Saturday. He was to face Jelbirt Gomera of the Philippines in a non-title junior-featherweight fight.

Said Kungwane yesterday: “I was disappointed [that Tete pulled out] but business-wise I am not affected because my tournament was never about Tete. That is why I am continuing with it. One thing must be clear, they approached me to include Tete in my tournament. That is why I am able to continue with my plan without Tete. I am excited and looking forward to ending the year with a bang.”

“I also want to thank the Mpumalanga department of culture, sports and recreation for their continued support. I wish all the boxers good health during these trying times where some fights have been called off due to the boxers testing positive for Covid-19,” said Kungwane, whose tournament planned for November 28 was cancelled because of positive cases.
