Low-key excited
Excitement is building for the MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Boxing and Fitness Academy boxers, who just have three days to go before they step into the ring.
Namibian boxing sensation Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila says he is excited by the fact that he is just three days away from stepping into the ring.
The Namibian will trade leather with Peter Pambeni of Zimbabwe at the Windhoek Country Club on Saturday.
The World Boxing Organisation (WBO) global international lightweight champion is confident that he will be victorious.
“Yes, there are only a few days left before the fight and I am super excited about it. I am not nervous because I know that I will do a good job on Pambeni.
“We know he is not an easy boxer because he has beaten a couple of our boxers but I am going to show him a different game,” Nakathila said.
Pambeni has a perfect record on Namibian soil, having beaten Junius Amunyela, Nakathila's trainer Siegfried 'SBK' Kaperu and Albinius 'Danny Boy' Felesianu over the years.
Nakathila has a record of 19 fights, with 18 wins and one defeat in his professional career, while Pambeni boasts a record of 17 wins, three losses and three draws in his professional career.
“It is an important fight for me because it can open my chances of competing for the world title.
“I know the risk I am taking when going into this fight but risk is something one must take when you have to achieve greater things,” Nakathila added. There will be nine undercard fights on the night.
Harry Simon Jnr will battle Malawi's Limbani Chikapa in an eight-round junior welterweight fight.
General tickets are available at Computicket and the Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy head office and are selling for N$200, while VIP tables for 10 are going for N$10 000 each.
