One of the most anticipated boxing events in Namibia is set to take place in October and the participants are raring to impress.
The boxing exhibition, which was organised to promote the fight against gender-based violence (GBV), 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.
It is believed that the event could change the attitudes of many men that are violent towards women.
The contestants have been receiving boxing training from trainers of MTC Nestor Sunshine Promotions and MTC Salute Boxing Academy.
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).

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 titled 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).
