Boxing returns to Northern Cape after four-month hiatus

After a successful tournament in June, the Fight Arts Promotions will stage a return tournament at the Flamingo Casino in Kimberley in the Northern Cape on November 12.

Before June, the boxing fraternity and followers of the fistic sport in the province have been starved of top-drawer boxing for more than five years.

According to promoter Russle Bindeman, the Comeback Tournament will put boxers of the Northern Cape against opponents from other provinces.


Bindeman said close to R100 000 in prize money will be given away in the next round of the Fight Arts Promotions boxing tournament.

Flamingo Casino general manager Themba Marasha said: “The first event earlier this year was met with excitement, and the action was talked about for weeks afterwards, so we look forward to welcoming a new line-up of fighters for another thrilling tournament and wish every one of them the best of luck”.

Tickets for the boxing extravaganza, which starts at 3pm, cost R200 per person and are available through Webtickets.
