Mzantsi Boxing Hall Of Fame Magazine

Mzantsi Boxing Hall Of Fame Magazine Hall Of Fame Magazine The Mzantsi Boxing Hall Of Fame Magazine is created so that we celebrate the proud tradition of Boxing In South Africa.

As we continue producing talented boxers. South African boxing has had a colourful history, but as happened in some other countries as well, there were times when some colours were never seen in the ring at the same time. It all changed eventually with the abolition of apartheid as South Africa now has, midway through 2016, 79 boxers who have won 136 titles as recognised by one or more of the organisations that sanction world championship fights. A new champion is produced almost every year.

Enoch “Schoolboy” Nhlapo must be one of the greatest South African fighters of all-time.

As a schoolboy, Nhlapo boxed under the guidance of Richard Legoale before making his professional debut on 6 February, 1953. This is possibly how he got the name 'Schoolboy'.

His won his first pro bout by stopping Ezekiel Mogotsi in the third round of the fight at the Bantu Men’s Social Centre in Eloff Street, Johannesburg, and went on to have 119 fights - one of the longest records in the history of South African boxing.

In only his fifth fight he won the Transvaal featherweight title, stopping Game Chicken Richards in the sixth round.

On 15 March, 1957, he lost in Durban to another outstanding SA fighter, Elijah Mokone, in a challenge for the national featherweight title. In a return title bout less than three months later he again lost on points over 12 rounds.

Nhlapo then moved into the lightweight class and won the SA lightweight title when he outpointed Joas Kangaroo Maoto on 8 June, 1957 at the City Hall in Durban. He defended the title nine times before losing it to Richard Borias on 4 February, 1967.

Five months later he regained the title by beating Borias, but was stripped of the title when he came in overweight against Eric Mahlo. The fight went on and Nhlapo won on a ninth-round technical knockout.

He again regained the belt on 3 February, 1968 when he outpointed Borias in a clash for the vacant title.

Nhlapo then knocked out Gabriel Dlamini in the 11th round on 6 December, 1969 to win the vacant SA junior-welterweight title at the Orlando Stadium in Soweto, but in his next fight lost the lightweight title to Anthony “Blue Jaguar” Morodi.

He was still the junior-welterweight champion when he won the SA welterweight title on 6 May, 1972 by beating Mackeed Mofokeng on points.

In his last fight, on 17 February, 1973 at the Orlando Stadium, three weeks short of his 40th birthday – he was born, as far as can be ascertained, in Soweto on 7 March, 1933 – he retai

Salute to Bra Mzi

For many years Mzimasi Mnguni, who promoted under the banner of Eyethu Promotions, has dominated the boxing scene in the Eastern Cape, producing a number of world champions.

He is one of the most successful South African manager-trainers of all time and, as owner of one of the biggest stores in Mdantsane near East London, was also a very successful businessman.
