This is a big tournament because it will see the Gauteng boxers coming together to fight among themselves. We all know that Sedibeng is well respected when it comes to boxing and Bongani Mahlangu continues to hoist our flag high. He continues to make us proud and this has served as motivation to the young boxers,” he concluded.
