Warrior’s promotion to end year in Outapi

The Warriors boxing promotion will be wrapping up their activities for the year with a tournament in Outapi next weekend.This was announced by the promotion’s chairperson Ludwig Haimbondi at a media briefing yesterday.Haihambo also announced the tournament’s sponsor, Embalangalya Investment owned by former Okalongo councillor John Hakaye.He said Embalangalya Investment is the sole sponsor with an open or blank cheque.“Embalangalya Investment is the main sponsors of the event but we will release further details later on.“It is an open cheque as Comrade Hakaye really wanted to make sure that this tournament takes place,” he said.He could however not reveal the value of the sponsorship, stating that the promotion will announce how much was spent by the sponsoring company at the end of the event.Haihambo mentioned that the fight will be sanctioned soon, “this is just a pre-conference but 99% of the things are in order and just a few technicalities that have to be worked on. But it will be sanctioned anytime today (yesterday).”A gala dinner will also be hosted on Saturday, 10 December in Outapi.The boxing tournament is slated for 17 December at Olufuko Cultural Centre in Outapi and has eight bouts on the card.The main fight will see a rematch between Kapena Naindjala and Valde Ndayambekwa rumble for the vacant Junior Welterweight National title.Naindjala who won the fight last year in Outapi has little words for his challenger Ndayambekwa, as he now wants to knock him out in the second round.Ndayambekwa however said, he has been training hard and cannot allow Naindjala to knock him out.“I have prepared well for this fight and I am ready for it but you know as a soldier when you are going to fight you do not show your enemy how many bullets you have. All I want is the spirit of winning.“He cannot tell me that he will knock me out, I have been training hard and I am not a punching bag,” he said.The Warriors promotion will announce the tickets price at a later stage.Full card:FlyweightSaltiel Moses (Pro Debut) vs Mukwendje JohannesJunior FeatherweightFillipus nghitumbwa (Pro Debut) vs Gerson VaetaBantamweightJoshua Ndemunonga vs Julius SheefeniWelterweightShafodino Simeon vs Rafel IitaSuper FeatherweightLazarus Namalambo vs Niikoti JohannesFeatherweightImmanuel Andeleki vs Matheus KandalaBantamweightJohannes Shitilitha vs Frans KativaJunior Welterweight National titleKapena Naindjala vs Valde NdayambwekwaKAINO NGHITONGO
