Ambunda first African to sign with Ringstar

LIMBA MUPETAMI



Triple world champion Paulus 'El Jesus' Ambunda has signed a three-year deal with Singapore's Ringstar Boxing Promotions.

Ambunda is the first African boxer to be signed by Ringstar.

His trainer from the AC Boxing and Fitness Gym, Immanuel 'Imms' Moses, confirmed the news on Friday.

In a prior interview with Namibian Sun, Moses said Ambunda was misquoted by a local radio station a few weeks ago, when he informed listeners he has sealed a deal.

Ambunda, who boasts a record of 27 wins and two losses, recently beat Muhamad Ridhwan of Singapore to claim the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) super bantamweight world title.

His landmark victory has opened more doors for the 38-year-old Namibian, who shows no sign of slowing down.

Ringstar is owned by Scott Patrick O'Farrell and maintains a stable boxers who have either become champions or are primed and ready for the elite level.

Some of the boxers signed to the stable include Muhamad 'Chosen Wan' Ridhwan, and Malaysia's IBO Oceania welterweight champion Keng 'The Mean Machine' Fai.
