Simon Jr to confident ahead of Musariri clash
Local boxing sensation Harry Simon Jr says he is ready to make lasting memories at the Ongwediva Annual Trade Fair (OATF), when he fights as part of the Namibia vs China boxing bonanza on 24 August.
Undoubtedly Namibia's most promising prospect, the 22-year-old Simon Jr will step into the ring for his 10th professional fight against Zimbabwe's Philip Musariri.
Simon Jr, who is the junior welterweight national champion, is eager to show his mettle at the MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy bonanza.
The young boxer outclassed Festus Matias on 20 April in the Independence Legacy Fight Part 2.
The 30-year old Musariri has nine fights to his credit. He has won six, lost one and drawn two. His last fight was on 31 May against Isaya Chilufya.
Simon Jr said he is scared of no one in the division, and while many regard him as just a prospect, he is ready to do battle with anyone. He says he is taking it one win at a time.
“I'm really enjoying my boxing at the moment. I'm fortunate to be fighting so often, which gives me an opportunity to build my record and gain the required experience.
“I'm blessed to be in such a positive and energetic camp and I am looking forward to displaying spectacular boxing at the Ongwediva trade fair.
“I invite the fans to come out and see world-class boxing from the best of the best, and get real value for their money,” said Simon Jr.
The Namibia vs China boxing bonanza will be headlined by Mike Shonena, who will fight Youli Dong from China. Standard tickets cost N$100, while VIP tables are available for N$10 000 each at Computicket.
