We have been pushing ourselves very hard with the help from boxing coach and trainer Paul ‘Sika’ Tshehla who has been always there guiding us and giving us tips. We will bring the good glory day back to eMalahleni as a city of boxing champions.

ABC was one of the best clubs, not only in the province but nationally and even internationally.

At one stage the city had three national champions and we hope to do that because we believe that it can be done,” said the two boxers.

The boxers added to say that they want the up and coming boxers to see that dedication and hard work pays off in the end. They say it will start with them and they are paving the way.
