2017-10-09Staff Report 2 Carlos Kambaekwa Windhoek-One of Namibia’s most recognisable professional boxers, Immanuel Andeleki, has been roped in to fight on the Fox Sports Boxing Extravaganza at the Grand Palm Hotel Casino and Convention Resort in Gaborone, Botswana on Wednesday, October 11. The boxing bonanza has attracted eight bouts on the bill, headlined by two vacant World Boxing Association Pan African titles on offer on the night, that includes one Namibian boxer and three entrants from South Africa, with the Namibian featuring in the title fights to be contested over 12 rounds.
