Toppies and over-aged pugilists can now take up the sport competitively after receiving the blessing of the South African National Boxing Organisation (Sanabo)‚ the newly formed Master Box South Africa (MBSA) said in a statement on Sunday night.

MBSA spokesman‚ Stephen Castle‚ said the organisation‚ which has received associate membership status of Sanabo‚ would cater for boxers aged 35 to 75 with three levels of experience.

Rounds would last two minutes for fighters up to 54-years-old rounds‚ and 90 seconds for those older. Fights would comprise three‚ five or six rounds. Castle said negotiations were under way for fighters to be sanctioned for world titles under the World Boxing Foundation. The decision to endorse MBSA was taken at the weekend by Sanabo at its elective AGM where a new executive‚ under the presidency of Siyabulela Mkwalo‚ was voted in.
