Female boxer to make debut next month Namibian female boxer Martina Marney Tjauha will be making her pro debut at the Kinda Promotions boxing bonanza next month.Boxing promoter Kinda Nangolo made the announcement last week Friday, stating that his stable wants to accommodate Tjauha as she wants to turn professional.
Nangolo explained that he is just assisting Tjauha out and has not signed a contract with her.
On the legality of female professional boxers fighting in the country, Nangolo said they are working tirelessly to have all the necessary documents in place.
Despite her being announced as part of the Iron Lady boxing stable, Tjauha said she is not linked to any promotion and is rather a free agent.
“I am a free agent, so I just grasp the opportunity presented to me because it is really difficult to get a boxing chance,” she said.
She explained that she has no contract with Iron Lady Promotions.
Nangolo is still searching for an opponent that she will face on 18 November.
