BOXING promoter Nestor ‘Sunshine’ Tobias said Namibia needs to urgently unearth promising talent in order to have champions to replace the current crop once they step down.
Tobias, speaking at a conference to announce the next stop for the ‘Hitman Hits Back’ tour on Wednesday, said there were plenty of talented youngsters waiting to be discovered and nurtured into champion material.
He also said that was one of the underlying purposes of the Hitman’s campaign, which will head to Otjiwarongo this weekend.
“Where will other champions come from if we do not do this?,” asked Tobias. ” There are many talented youngsters out there. We saw this in Gobabis last week.
“They just need some training and to be showed how to fight properly.”
Tobias added that his academy has pledged to support the youngsters development by providing them with training gear.
Furthermore Paulus ‘The Hitman’ Moses and co will hold a coaching clinic and an autograph session from 09h00 at the Orwetoveni Community Hall tomorrow. An exhibition fight will complete the day’s activities from 19h00. Entrance to the exhibition will cost N$20 per person, while the boxing coaching clinic is for free.
