Local professional boxers are set to invade Namibian capital Windhoek on July 5 for bouts against Namibian opponents at the Windhoek Country Club.

Former amateur boxers Tefo Letshikgwane and Kgomotso Bok will be making their professional boxing debuts alongside reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Pan African champion, Lesley Sekotswe who will be fighting a title bout.

Speaking at the unveiling of the boxers, Bond Promotions patron, Dickson Gabanakgosi said pro-boxing is still a new baby that still needs some nurturing and support.
