Nakathila inspires Omaruru youth

Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila continues to inspire youth and recently spent time in Omaruru, where he motivated up-and-coming boxers. The boxer was the guest of honour at the Stone Boxing Club bonanza, which took place at the dusty town on 22 June. Nakathila advised the youth to remain disciplined and focus on their dreams. “It was great to meet some of the fine aspiring boxers who look up to me in Omaruru. I gave many of the young guys present at the event some lessons on how they can avoid getting into trouble and remain focused on their aim. “Boxing in the country needs to grow and it will only grow if we train and educate the young guys that are the future,” Nakathila said. The WBO global international lightweight boxing champion has had a series of visits to several towns around Namibia, where he has encouraged the youth. Most of his visits last year were to the northern regions, but the boxer plans on visiting all parts of Namibia to motivate the youth. During his last fight he outclassed former European champion Zoltan 'Caramel' Kovacs at the Windhoek Country Club Resort on 20 April to win the global title. The boxer now boasts a record of 19 fights, 18 wins and one defeat in his professional boxing career. Nakathila was born on 17 December 1989 at Eunda-Uukolonkadhi. He attended Ombome Combined School before moving on to Sam Nujoma High School. “It remains my passion to see many young Namibians prosper and I am going to make sure that happens. “The youth are the backbone of this country and it will be important that they grow up in a manner that will see them become future leaders and champions,” Nakathila said.The bonanza Nakathila attended saw various boxers from After School Boxing Academy, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, Usakos, Arandis, Stone Boxing Club and the MTC Nestor Sunshine Tobias Boxing Academy competing for top honours.Jesse Jackson Kauraisa
