DESPITE the disappointing news of a star attraction withdrawing from his Amazing Grace fight card, the ever-passionate promoter, David Faas, is confident of delivering a memorable night of boxing at the OR Tambo Sports and Recreational Hall in Site C, Khayelitsha, this month.
In commemoration of former South African president Nelson Mandela, who was born on July 18, Faas has put together a tasty eight-fight card in Khayelitsha, a community steeped in boxing history and known for producing some of the continents best grassroots and amateur boxing tournaments and fighters.
The show, which takes place on July 27, was set to showcase former two-time WBF bantamweight world and continental champion Mzuvukile Magwaca, who had also held the IBF Intercontinental and WBA International bantamweight titles.
Mgwaca was set for a title fight against the current South African junior-featherweight champion, Bongani Mahlangu, before Magwaca was forced to pull out due to injury.
The headline fight will now see the Vaals three-time world champion, Gideon Hardcore Buthelezi, take on Zimbabwes Tinashe Majoni in a WBF Intercontinental junior-bantamweight clash.
