Boxers cry foul

FOREIGN boxers who participated in the New Dawn boxing tournament on Friday night, a Fight Night Pan African boxing series, were left seething with anger after they were paid their purses in bond notes, a currency which they cannot use in their countries.
Kalakoda Promotion and Kwesé Sports were the promoters of the fight bill held at the City Sports Centre in Harare, which saw six bouts including two title fights being staged.

Four foreign boxers – Aubrey Masamba and Eneless Nkahwanthi from Malawi, Democratic Republic of Congo’s Knife Didier and Tanzanian Swedi Mohamed – took part in the tournament.
