Fight nights announced for September

Boxing is a contact sport, thus one of the sports in South Africa who will have to wait to be back in full action after the Covid-19 pandemic and the full approval of Boxing South Africa (BSA).

A two-evening fight nights will take place in September at Emperors Palace staged by Golden Gloves Promotions in order to get boxing back on track.
The first evening of boxing will take place on September 1 while the other will be staged on the third.

Undefeated Rowan Campbell will put his International Boxing Organisation (IBO) All-Africa super middleweight championship on the line when he meets veteran Ryno Liebenberg over 12 rounds.

The Word Boxing Associations (WBA) Pan African title will also be on the line.

Only left with local boxing talents, GGP decided to match up Liebenberg and Campbell for the September cards.
Campbell was scheduled to fight for the vacant IBO title, but Covid-19 made this impossible.

Liebenberg’s record is an impressive 20-7-1 and he is eagerly waiting to stop Campbell’s unbeaten run.

The two semi-finals of the cruiserweight tournament entitled ‘Who will prevail?’ will also take place on the same card.

Undefeated Akani Phuzi meets an improved Chris Thompson for the third time and Lebo Mashitoa will be out to prove that his upset victory over Keaton

Gomes was no fluke when the two clash in a rematch.

The eventual tournament winner should be a force to be reckoned with in a star-studded division, snapping at the heels of IBO world champion, Kevin Lerena and Thabiso Mchunu.
