Nangolo explains foreign fights
Kinda Nangolo has hinted at more fights outside Namibia for his boxers because of alleged unfair treatment by the local boxing board.
Kinda Promotions promoter Kinda Nangolo says he has resorted to taking his boxers to Botswana because he feels safer there.
One of his boxers, Anthony Jarmann, fought in Botswana this year and Immanuel Andeleki has a fight scheduled there next month.
Andeleki will fight for the vacant WBA Pan African featherweight title in Botswana on 11 October. The boxer will come up against Rofhia Maemu of South Africa.
The event will take place at the Grand Palm Hotel Casino and Convention Resort in Botswana.
Fox Sports, in conjunction with Kinda Promotions, will host the fight.
“I have decided to take my boxers to Botswana because I am not on good terms with the current boxing board in my own country.
“They have done so much harm to me that I do not feel safe to stage fights in Namibia anymore.
“Therefore, I am trying to expand to other countries that are willing to work with me in peace,” Nangolo said.
Nangolo claimed that the boxing board had treated him unfairly.
In December 2016, the boxing board refused to sanction a boxing event organised by Nangolo.
The board claimed that Nangolo and his fighters had failed to meet the requirements for their fights to be sanctioned.
A war of words broke out between Nangolo and the boxing control board following the cancellation of the event.
“I will never be at peace until a formal apology is made to me for the things that I lost while trying to stage a fight in Namibia,” Nangolo said.
