Marcus “King Labamba” Lebogo finally has a crown. His deserved unanimous points win after one-sided 10 rounds against Sbonelo Nzimande at the weekend was testimony to the old saying that perseverance is the mother of all success.

Lebogo failed to win the SA junior welterweight title from Xolani Mcotheli in 2019 but never gave up. The crowning moment came on Sunday and the boxer from Tembisa grabbed it with both hands as he completely flummoxed Nzimande to win the ABU SADC belt.

That win restored Lebogo’s confidence and it showed in his fight at the Civic Centre in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday. The fight headlined the eight-bout card of promoter Nomvelo Shezi.“I dedicate this title to my family – my three children, their mother, my mother but more specially my father who has been behind my career from day one.

Durandt and Kazembe have now produced 17 champions since taking over the training of fighters from Durandt’s father – the late Nick Dudandt.
