MTC Salute Boxing Academy’s Nathaniel Kakololo is just about two weeks away from one of the biggest fights of his career.

The Namibian however said he is more than ready for the fight, given that he has intensified his training since it was announced.

Kakololo will battle South Africa’s Lerato Dlamini for the World Boxing Council (WBC) silver featherweight title on 18 March.

“I know there are only a few days before the fight and I can tell you that I am more than prepared for this fight.

“All I can say is that I have been working very hard ever since this year started and that is what makes me even much more confident than I should be.

“This fight is very important to me and I will definitely show Dlamini what I am made of.”

Dlamini is the current WBC silver featherweight champion and will be eager to defend his title.

The Namibian not only faces an away battle but will have to dethrone a very skilled and dangerous boxer.

Kakololo defeated South Africa’s Jeff Magagane in an Africa Boxing Union Featherweight title in December.

The 2019 sportsman of the year nominee began his professional career in 2014.

He however faces a titanic task given that he will be up against one of South Africa’s top featherweight boxers.

Dlamini is no walk in the park – he has won 13 professional fights, with only one defeat to his name.

The South African claimed the vacant WBC Silver Featherweight title in 2019 after beating Dave Penalosa of the Philippines by unanimous decision.

“One thing I will not do is just travel to South Africa for the sake of being there.

“I will make sure that I hurt Dlamini and that he will always remember my name whenever he goes to bed,” Kakololo said.
