TOMMY Oosthuizen will be back in the ring when the Top Guns boxing tournament takes place on Saturday November 15. The long anticipated boxing event will be hosted by Emperors Palace in association with Golden Gloves Boxing Promotions.
The infamous Centre Court will see the return of Tommy ‘The Gun’ Oosthuizen as he faces Russia’s Denis Grachev for the WBC International light-heavyweight title over 12 rounds. The bout on everyone’s lips is the epic battle between cruiserweights Johnny Muller and Kevin Lerena. Although Muller is a crowd favourite, the boxing fraternity is expecting a barnburner of a fight between these two warriors.
World honours will once again beckon when Ali Funeka takes on Roman Balaev for the vacant IBO welterweight title.
Balaev is the current IBF Youth welterweight champion and WBA Continental welterweight champion, who sports impressive records of 14 fights, ten KO’s and poses a serious threat to Funeka’s aspirations.
“Sadly Funeka has twice been deprived of his rightly deserved World Title honours – losing to Nate Campbell on a split decision, and then controversially drawing with Joan Guzman for the vacant IBF lightweight title. Funeka’s opportunity reunites the great partnership between Mzi Mnguni and Rodney Berman with their trademark handshake,” said Jeff Ellis, African Ring Boxing Promoter.
Tickets are priced from R150 per person and fans can combine the spectacular boxing with Lazy Weekend Funstays, starting from as little as R535 per person sharing, including breakfast.
