Nangolo faces another blow
Promoter optimistic
Kinda Promotions’s Kinda Nangolo has revealed that he still awaits a decision from the Namibia Wrestling and Boxing Control Board to sanction his boxing event.
WBA Pan-Africa junior middleweight champion Anthony Jaarman is scheduled to defend his title against South Africa’s Nkululeko Mhlongo next weekend.
However, Nangolo disclosed yesterday that the fight had not been sanctioned with only one week to go.
“I have submitted everything like I always use to do and that is why I expect the fight to be sanctioned soon.
“We hope that an email stating that the fight has been sanctioned will come in on Friday.
“There could be a possibility that the fight will not be sanctioned in time if the boxing board has an agenda,” Nangolo said.
The fight was initially slated for last month, but did not take place after the Kinda Promotions failed to meet the sanctioning requirements.
Jaarman holds a record of 15 fights, 13 wins, one loss and one draw, while his South African opponent has lost twice, drew ones and 14 victories to his 17 fights.
“Jaarman is ready and has been training well despite the fact that there has been so much controversy surrounding his fight.
“It will be very unfortunate if the fight does not take place for the second time,” Nangolo said.
Namibian Sun understands that the board on Thursday allegedly gave Nangolo a letter containing some of the requirements needed for his bonanza to be sanctioned.
Boxing Control Board officials could not be reached for comment before this newspaper went to print.
