Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila says he fears no one in his division and is ready to take on any challenger who comes his way.

The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) global international lightweight champion last fought in April and has been itching for a fight.

In his last fight, the Namibian outclassed Zoltan Kovacs of Hungary at the Windhoek Country Club Resort, winning via a technical knockout.

“As a boxer, I am always ready to fight anyone who is in my division, because I know what I am capable of.

“Boxing is all about keeping fit, even when you are not fighting, because you can get a crack at a fight any given time.

“If there is anyone in my division who wants to challenge me and get beaten, I am here,” Nakathila said.

The boxer boasts a record of 19 fights, with 18 wins and one defeat in his professional career.

Nakathila was born on 17 December 1989 at Eunda-Uukolonkadhi.

He attended Ombome Combined School, before moving on to Sam Nujoma High School.

“I have been doing well in the gym and I am in the shape of my life at the moment.

“It is, however, all up to my promoter Nestor Tobias to get me a fight and I trust he will do what he believes is best for me,” he said. Nakathila is currently ranked number three in his division and only Mexican Oscar Valdez (number one) and American Lamont Roach better rankings than the Namibian in the WBO.

“It is not easy being rated number three in the whole world and I am therefore grateful for what I have achieved so far.

“All those guys above me do not even scare me, because I have a big heart and I am brave,” Nakathila added.
