Namibian boxing promoter and trainer Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias says he is impressed by local celebrities' commitment to the upcoming boxing tournament to raise awareness of gender violence.
The MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy is currently training 10 local celebrities.
Tobias spoke highly of the people he has been training, given the amount of hard work they are putting in.
“It is remarkable how serious these celebrities are about the event and I am impressed by the amount of work they are putting in in the gym. We all know that this is an exhibition fight but we are really having fun.
“Everyone is jolly and excited to fight and create awareness of gender-based violence,” Tobias said.
One of the most anticipated boxing events in Namibia is scheduled for October and the participants are eager to impress.
The boxing exhibition, which was organised to promote the fight against gender-based violence, will feature Namibian celebrities from the corporate world and the media.
The event will take place at the Windhoek Country Club on 12 October. It will be a battle over three rounds of one minute each.
The confirmed fights are as follows:
Junior middleweight: KP Illest (one of Namibia's most celebrated rappers and award-winning artist) vs Paul Da Prince (TV and radio personality, R&B singer, songwriter and MC).
Heavyweight title: Jossy Joss (marketing manager Energy 100FM) vs Amos Shiyuka (Namibian business personality).
Cruiserweight title: D-Naff (award-winning gospel artist) vs Luis Munana (TV host, producer, creative director and founder of Waka Waka Moo).
Heavyweight title: Theo Ishuna (MTC key accounts executive and NBC news anchor) vs Marco Ndlovu (journalist, news editor, producer and presenter).
Super middleweight title: DJ Cheeze (arguably one of Namibia's best DJs and host of the popular radio show 'Young Hearts, Fresh Beats' on Fresh FM) vs Sunny Boy (Namibian rapper and king of Hikwa).
Middleweight title: Johnny 'JJD' Doeseb (Namibian businessman and hall-of-famer) vs Job Amupanda (Namibian author, activist and academic).
Middleweight title: Mappz Kapofi (hip-hop artist, producer, radio presenter and MC) vs Mufaro Nesongano.
Heavyweight title: Michael Vermeulen (managing director of Mikel-Jes Music Productions) vs an opponent yet to be confirmed.
