"Her meticulous planning and execution are ensuring a world-class event that honours the rich heritage of the Bapedi Kingdom while promoting the sport of boxing on an international stage. We look forward to a continued fruitful partnership ... we strongly recommend Mama Rocks to potential sponsors who wish to be associated with this prestigious event."
"The proven track record of excellence in event management, combined with the vision for the growth of the Tsate International Boxing Festival, guarantees a successful and impactful collaboration," Thulare said.
"We are confident that the partnership between the Bapedi Kingdom and Kgasago will not only elevate the profile of the Tsate International Boxing Festival but will also contribute to the development of sports and culture in our nation for years to come."
Sambu won the WBF Intercontinental title outside the ring in October. He lost the fight against Joshua Studdard. WBF president Howard Goldberg, who supervised the fight on October 1, later changed the results and announced Sambu as the winner.
