The removal of SA from the United Kingdom’s red list after travel restrictions were imposed to contain the spread of Covid-19 has given hope veteran former multiple international champion Matshidiso Mokebisi for better things in future.

The “Scorpion Queen”, as the 32-year-old mother of two is known, lost her No 1 spot in the IBO featherweight ratings recently. She had been at the doorstep of challenging for the world title that is currently held by Puerto Rican Armanda Serrano, who also holds the WBC and WBO belts.

“I was rated No 1 from January until March and it saddened me to see that I have been dropped to No 8, but what comforts me is the fact that I know the reason,” said the boxer whose only source of income comes from getting inside the ring and fight. All what Mokebisi is begging for is action. “That will help improve my rating, better my chances of getting back to where I was and challenge for the world title. Actually I am not choosy; any world title will do for me. I am happy to be recognised by a world body like the IBO because it says I am doing something good,” she said.
