DEBUTANT boxers will get the opportunity to showcase their skills at the first of four events which are scheduled for beginners in the profession.
Baptism of Fire Box ‘n Dine will take place on Wednesday, May 27, at 18:00, at Turffontein Racecourse.
The main fight for the evening will be between Rofhiwe Maemu and Tumelo Pedi. They will be fighting for the vacant Gauteng featherweight title over ten rounds.
Maemu has fought against boxers such as Adam de Moor, Paul Kamanga and Alan Bouwer and still has a reputable record which he will put on line against his best friend and former sparring partner, Pedi.
Maemu will be boxing out of the Box Office corner, assisted by former well known boxer and his current trainer, Anton Gilmore.
Pedi has now moved to the Alan Toweel camp and has become a formidable boxer.
“This is all going to be about boxing science when the two get into the ring,’ said Toweel.
All other bouts will be over four rounds.
The debut bouts will feature the following boxers: Luvo Ntlebi vs James Britz; Dario Familiar vs Joachim Mogadaui; Bheki Muhlangu vs Tyrone Murgatroyd; Brandon Naude vs Tumisang Kasa; Jade Karam vs Kosinathima Thima; Siya Mabena vs Dougie Holmes; Arthur Hall vs Joseph Juvi; Clement Kamanga vs George Xaba.
