Desert Storm to hit Gaborone
Boxing trainer Imms 'AC' Moses says Sakaria 'Desert Storm' Lukas is the next big thing in Namibian boxing, as he has talent in abundance.
Moses said the boxer, who has been training at the AC Boxing and Fitness Gym, is fit and ready to take on any fighter in his weight class.
“He is hungry for a win and has been preparing tirelessly for an upcoming fight in Gaborone, Botswana,” said Moses.
The undefeated Lukas will challenge for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Africa title on 27 September in the Rising Stars boxing tournament, promoted by Global Boxing Stars (GBS).
The title is currently held by South Africa's Jeff '911' Magagane. This fight is set to be a war, with both fighters having the chance to fight in the United States, if they emerge victorious.
Lukas has a flawless record of 22 fights, with 15 knockouts, while Magagane's record is 15 fights, 12 wins and three losses.
“Botswana, in fact Africa, be ready, as you have never seen anything as well-produced. We will present a great night of world championship boxing,” said GBS CEO Scott Farrell.
“Rising Stars will deliver the ultimate boxing experience to everyone attending the show, and the millions watching from home via our live broadcast. If you're not at Stanbic Bank Piazza on 27 September, then you are going to miss a truly great night.”
The undercard is also stacked with great fights and features Botswana's Steven 'Small' Bagwasi facing current Zimbabwean national champion Ndodana Ncube.
Adding further excitement to the fight card is the presence of former two-time WBA world champion Paulus 'Hitman' Moses.
The Namibian is set to make his comeback to the ring against Mbena Rajab from Tanzania.
It doesn't end there. Farrell has also helped the Professional Boxing Association of Botswana (PBAB) by launching their first professional boxing national titles.
Not one, but four titles will also be contested on the night.
The bouts include a national super lightweight title fight between Tshepiso Mokgadi and Kutlwano Ogaketse.
The national featherweight title will be contested by Moabi Ngaka and Thabiso Mpolokeng.
The national welterweight title fight will see Gomotsang Gaasite exchanging leather with Kagiso Bagwasi.
In the national bantamweight title fight, Tefo Letshikgwane will cross swords with Onkarabile Mothibedi.
“This is the place to be seen, so dress to impress,” Farrell said, while launching the ticket sales for the event last Friday.
The ticket partner is webtickets.co.bw, who is also an official sponsor.
