Recent Results & Highlights
Last week, a surprise upset rocked the boxing scene in Johannesburg. The underdog from Tanzania knocked out the favorite in the third round, proving that power can come from anywhere. Fans called it the "dark horse knockout" on social media, and the win has already sparked talks of a title shot.
In another highlight, the African Boxing Federation announced new safety guidelines after a series of injuries in regional tournaments. The rules now require headgear for all amateurs and stricter medical checks before fights. This move should make the sport safer and give younger athletes a better chance to stay in the game.
For those who missed the action, you can catch the full fight replays on the federation’s YouTube channel. The videos are short, with key moments highlighted, so you can see the knockout punches without watching the whole bout.
Besides the big fights, there’s a growing trend of grassroots boxing clubs opening in townships and smaller cities. These clubs offer free training sessions and a chance for kids to stay out of trouble. If you’re looking to get involved, check out the local community center – most clubs welcome beginners and provide basic gear.
