Born and raised in the vibrant Duncan Village, East London, I was captivated by the art of boxing in 2003. My commitment to this discipline soon shone through, as my amateur record boasted over 200 wins and a mere 8 losses. This not only showcased my skills but was a testament to my unyielding work ethic in and out of the ring.

Turning professional in 2007, my journey in the boxing world was meteoric. Within a year, I proudly held the Eastern Cape title aloft. The highlight came in 2013, when I clinched the prestigious WBA Pan Africa Title, simultaneously making my mark in the Premiere Boxing League. Yet, by 2015, I felt it was time to hang up my gloves.

"My love for boxing had other plans."

My love for boxing, however, had other plans. Even before my retirement in 2015, I started channeling my deep-seated knowledge of the sport into training in 2012. Recognizing my dedication and understanding, I was soon positioned as a professional boxing trainer by 2019.

With me in their corner, talents like Bangile Nyangani rose to prominence, securing 3 distinctive titles. Bukiwe Nonina, under my guidance, achieved the significant accolade of being named an African Champion.

Now, I don’t just see myself as a former boxer but as a guiding light, using my experience and passion to shape the future champions of boxing.
