Fight fans can breathe a sigh of relief for now because they are still permitted to attend boxing matches. There was fear that President Cyril Ramaphosa might take the country to a level that necessitates that the number of people permitted indoor and outdoor is either reduced or abolished completely.
That fear was informed by growing numbers of Covid-19 positive cases. Boxing has been directly affected. Positive cases forced the cancellation of TLB Promotions’ tournament, which would have taken place in Midrand on Sunday.
Fight coordinator Jeff Ellis announced yesterday that the rematch between WBA Pan African and IBO All-Africa junior middleweight champion Brandon “Fast Guns” Thysse and IBO Youth holder Roarke “Razor” Knapp was definitely off. “We have since brought in Cristiano Ndombassy, who will take on Knapp but for the WBA Pan African middleweight title,” said Ellis. Ndombassy is from Angola but is based in the Western Cape where his career is guided by veteran trainer Emille Brice.
