SA has world champion in unusual ring fight sport

Gans, 26, from Saldanha Bay in the Western Cape was crowned champion after beating Karim Taquet from Belgium in a title fight in Cape Town recently.

"In 2009, the sport was introduced to our school in a form of a development programme that was run by Josh Cloete, who is now my main coach. I joined and started competing three months after."“This win was for the super-welterweight 75.8kg. It was an open title fight, so no one held the title before. Winning it felt amazing. My previous wins were all in the amateur division.

Gert Kotzee, who was the referee of the fight, says it was evident that Gans put in the training hours. The MEC for cultural affairs and sport in the Western Cape, Anroux Marais, congratulated Gans on his accomplishment.
