MTC Nestor Sunshine Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy has announced that Fillipus ‘Energy’ Nghitumbwa’s WBO Global Super bantamweight title defence fight will now take place at Mövenpick Hotel in Windhoek on 21 November.
In a statement issued this week, Tobias says the highly anticipated fight, originally scheduled for Rundu, has now moved to the capital to ensure a seamless experience for all attendees and stakeholders.
Nghitumbwa will trade blows against South African Ayabonga Sonjica in the much-anticipated WBO Global Super Bantamweight showdown.
“The decision to transfer the event follows a recent site visit to Rundu, where organisers were informed of an unavoidable double-booking at the original venue.
“To prioritise the event’s success and avoid the logistical challenges of further postponements, the leadership team has shifted the proceedings to the capital city,” Tobias says.
“While we were looking forward to hosting this event at Rundu, this venue shift to Windhoek allows us to maintain the original date and deliver the high-quality experience our guests expect.
“We have secured the prestigious Mövenpick Hotel to ensure the event proceeds without further disruption.”
The stable sincerely apologises for any inconvenience this change may cause and thank their supporters for their continued understanding.
Boxing fans will have to fork out N$200 for general tickets, while the VIP table seating 10 guests will go for N$20 000.
