New era for SA boxing || The Southern Times

Fight Africa Promotions on March 12 will launch “A New Era in South African Boxing”, which will be broadcast on SEi and exclusively live via PPV.

The event will feature a host of African talent and international stars as Fight Africa Promotions aims to establish a thriving boxing scene for the continent.

Boasting 12 bouts, the card will cater for all boxing fans - with boxers from the flyweight division, all the way up to the bruising heavyweight division – in what promises to be an action-packed affair.

The main event will feature super-welterweight title action as Cristiano Ndombassy (11-4, 9 KOs) goes head-to-head with the undefeated Jami Webb (6-0, 3 KOs). It will be an exciting clash of styles as the Angolan Ndombassy will look to impose his power-punches in what is set to be Webb’s biggest test to date.

Scotland’s Hannah Rankin carved her own piece of history in 2019 in becoming Scotland’s first female world champion and the “Classical Warrior” faces a tough test when she goes up against two-time South African champion Kholosa Ndobayini.

It’s a crushing cruiserweight contest as Mohammad Ali Bayat Farid faces Mussa Ajibu in what promises to be an explosive bout. All 16 of Bayat’s victories have been by knockout; Ajibu has won 28 contests (24 Kos). A combined 40 knockouts between both boxers makes this a fight not to be missed.

Heavyweight action will see Juan Roux face Nico Yamdjie.

The highly-touted Roux is looking to build on his flawless record to date and a victory would set him up perfectly for a big 2021.

There will be debuts for rising stars Emile Brits and Dwayne Dodzo, as they aim to make tracks into the super-welterweight and super-middleweight divisions respectively.

Dillon Solomons got his career off to an impressive start with a victory at the end of 2020 and will be hoping to impress on March 12th. Athenkosi Plaatjies, Darrin Rossouw, Daniel Pontac and Wasim Chellan will all be aiming to impress on the big screen and extend their impressive starts in the professional ranks.
