Golden Boxing tourney a success in Oshitenda

Golden Boxing tourney a success in Oshitenda

The Golden Boxing tournament, held in informal settlement in Oshitenda in Windhoek, drew a large crowd of both young and old spectators on Saturday. 

Sponsored by Castlebet, the event featured 18 amateur boxing bouts, all of which lived up to expectations.

Boxing promoter Tobias Naule organised the event. 

He praised the event’s set-up, which he credited to Castlebet’s support. 

“The weather was really on our side. We were a bit worried about rain – but luckily, it didn’t come. The boxers were in top shape. They delivered outstanding performances,” he said. The community of Oshitenda warmly welcomed the event, with many coming out in large numbers to support amateur boxing, which was described as an amazing show of enthusiasm. 

Winners were awarded gold medals and mouth guards, while runners-up received silver medals. 

The best boxer of the tournament Titus Mutewa was awarded a trophy along with a N$5 000 voucher for boxing gear, including gloves, skipping ropes and training shoes, all sponsored by Castlebet Namibia.

“Overall, this event would not have materialised without the solid backing of Castlebet Namibia. We’d like to extend our gratitude to the community for their support, as well as to Jason Naule and Sebby Sheuyange for their assistance in making the event a success,” Naule added.

Local boxing stars like Jeremia Nakathila and Mateus Heita attended the tournament to show support to the amateur boxers. 

Heita handed the winners their mouth guards, while Nakathila presented the silver medals to the runners-up. 

Businessman Davis Shiwa was on hand to present the gold medals to the winners. -lmupetami@nepc.com.na
