MTC Salute Boxing Academy pugilists are set to entertain Rundu with their skills when the academy hosts a boxing tournament tomorrow at the town.

Titled the 'The Kavango River Fray', the event will see several boxers trading leather.

The boxing bonanza will take place at the Rundu Trade Fair Hall, with Sunny Boy providing the musical entertainment.

The tournament will feature Jonas Matheus, who will defend his International Boxing Organisation (IBO) international bantamweight title against Nasibu Ramadhan from Tanzania.

Matheus will hope to keep his title, while the Tanzanian aims to return home with the crown.

The night is set to produce fireworks, given the number of top fighters on the undercard.

Normal tickets are selling for N$100 in advance and N$150 at the gate, while VIP tickets are going for N$250 in advance and N$300 at the gate.

School learners are required to pay N$10 at the gate, while a VIP table of 10 is selling for N$15 000.

Earlier this month, Salute and the Patrick Kashera (PK) Boxing and Fitness Academy from the Kavango East Region signed a 10-year memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop the sport in the region.
