Five boxers to keep club's name high include two Randfonteiners.
The annual Gauteng Elite boxing championships will be taking place on 13 and 14 April in Alberton and five West Rand boxers will be competing.
Phillip du Randt, the head coach at Witpoortjie Vikings Boxing Academy, as well as the Public Relations Officer of Gauteng West Province Open Boxing, said, “The five boxers who will be competing at the championships are Raymond van Niekerk (Vikings), Phumelele Cele (Vikings), Harry Joubert (Randgate Boxing Club), Hardus Jakobs (Randgate Boxing club) and Morgan Hunter (Krugersdorp Boxing Club). The coaching team believes that the team will be bringing home titles.”
