Boxing set to return to Eldorado

Fight-starved fans from Eldorado Park and surrounding areas should rally behind Shanell Winlock, who will present a 10-bout tournament at Don Mateman Hall on May 26.

The boss of Victory Sports Production said her tournament, dubbed "Gauteng Blockbuster", will be headlined by a vacant Gauteng welterweight championship between Tebogo Malose and Zenzile Ntanzi.

Malosem, of Bernie Pailman's stable, stopped Siyamcela Mntwana in two rounds in June while Ntanzi - Lehlohonolo Ledwada's charge - last fought in July when he was stopped in two rounds by Thulani Mbenge.

Winlock has featured five boxers from around the area, including Enslin Booysens.

Winlock said she was on a mission to restore Don Mateman Hall as the pride venue for boxing in Eldorado Park.
