JOHANNESBURG - For fight fans in the Kingdom of Eswatini, there’s going to be a block-buster end-of-the-year professional tournament as Fox Sports Africa Boxing has lined-up a super six-fight show at the Royal Swazi Spa on November 2.


There’s a clash of two well-groomed heavyweights – Justice Siliga and fellow South African, Flo Simba, who has a record of 14 wins and five losses – for the vacant WBA Pan Africa heavyweight title over 12 rounds. Then there’s a defence of the WBA super-featherweight crown, held by Sikho Nqothole, and he takes on Sabelo Ngebinyane over 12 rounds.


Added to this there are four other fights on the undercard, making it 44 rounds of non-stop action for the night.
“You cannot get better than this to end the year,” said Barry Lambert, senior advisor for Fox Sports in Africa and promoter of Fox Sports Africa Boxing. “We have carefully stitched together every little piece to make the November 2 tournament a ‘night to remember’ for the local fight fans.


“The heavyweight clash will be the one to really look forward to but don’t ignore the Nqothole-Ngebinyane 12-rounder. That will be a ‘cracker’ as Nqothole is an explosive super-featherweight will loads of talent.”


Nqothole, who is unbeaten in 11 professional fights and who was born in Umtata, is South Africa’s most exciting super-featherweights. And since arriving at his gymnasium in Johannesburg in March 2017, manager-trainer Alan Toweel has pushed the youngster all the way to the top. He is ranked No 4 in South Africa and his opponent Ngebinyane is the national No 3.
