Harry Simon Jr looking to impress
The talented 19-year old Harry Simon Junior will step into the ring for his third professional fight against Nathanael Shimanda on 21 October as part of the Champions in Action event promoted by MTC Nestor Sunshine Promotions.
Simon is the son of Namibia's first world boxing champion, Harry 'The Terminator' Simon, who remained undefeated in his professional boxing career.
Simon Junior had a successful amateur boxing career with 31 fights before turning professional. He started boxing at the tender age of 14 and has been undefeated in two professional fights.
“Harry Junior will step into the ring with Shimanda on 21 October as an undercard. We are proud to have taken him under our wing because he is a talented young boxer that we wish to guide with discipline and dedication so that he can reach his ultimate goal to become world champion like his father one day,” said promoter Nestor Tobias.
“His father and I came a long way. We would go to bed on empty stomachs during our boxing days but still wake up at 04:30 in the morning to hit the road training to realise our dreams,” he added.
Simon Junior expressed gratitude for the opportunity to fight again and admitted that he would need to blaze his own trail with hard work and total dedication.
Champions in Action is promoted by MTC Nestor Sunshine Promotions. The main fight will see Walter 'Executioner' Kautondokwa defend his WBO middleweight title against Meshack 'Smart Boy' Mwankenwa from Tanzania.
Namibia's promising welterweight prospect Mike Shonena will challenge Juma Waiswa from Uganda for the vacant WBO Africa welterweight title in the main undercard.
There will be eight other undercards plus an exhibition fight billed as 'Selma vs Michael'.
Tickets are available at Computicket outlets, Antonio's shop in Post Street Mall and at the Windhoek Country Club reception.
General tickets sell for N$200 while a VIP table seating 10 persons costs N$10 000.
