Boxing promoter Immanuel Moses says boxing is the livelihood of many boxers and through working together much can be achieved.
In an interview with Namibian Sun, Moses further said that the Covid-19 pandemic has hit the whole sports industry but that they continue to believe that things will get better.
The trainer further added that promoters and trainers across stables should work in the interest of the boxers and help each other out.
“Many of our boxers fail abroad because as trainers we are not helping each other with lending sparring partners when there is a title shot at hand or giving useful advice which might help the boxer.
“We also run for international fights instead of matching our boxers against each other and thus producing a world title contender who can continue fighting for big titles longer,” he added.
Looking to the future
In order to help promote boxing locally, Moses has joined the team of Global Boxing Stars (GBS) to ensure that local boxers get a shot at world title fights.
He is in partnership with international manager Scott Patrick Farrell, founder and CEO of GBS, added Moses.
Moses trains local boxers such as Matias Hamunyela, Jonas Matheus and Lazarus Shaningwa, Sakaria 'Desert Storm' Lukas, Paulus 'El Jesus' Ambunda and his brother, Paulus 'The Hitman' Moses.
He believes in grassroots development and said he works with young aspiring boxers as well. He further added that they get calls from boxers abroad who want to join his team.
“We get calls, but right now we cannot take this on. The focus is to someday get land or a building such as Ramatex and to develop it into a world-class boxing training centre,” he added.
