Boxing has long been a vital part of Namibian sports, providing a platform for athletes to showcase their skills, earn recognition, and build a community around their sport. However, the sport has faced a series of challenges that have threatened its growth and development. In response, renowned promoter Imms Moses has launched the AC Super Six Boxing League, a groundbreaking initiative designed to revitalize the sport at its grassroots level.
The AC Super Six Boxing League is a premier competition that will target talented boxers in the Khomas Region. Moses, a prominent figure in the world of boxing, is confident that the league will not only identify and develop new talent but also serve as a catalyst for the sport’s resurgence in the region. “We need to build from the ground up if we want to dominate the sport on the continent,” he emphasized. This statement highlights the importance of investing in grassroots development to create a strong foundation for future success.
The league will feature six weight divisions, each allowing participating clubs to register one boxer per category. The weight categories are: Welterweight, light welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight, and flyweight. This structure ensures that boxers are matched against opponents of similar weight, reducing the risk of injury and promoting fair competition.
| Weight Categories | Registration Details |
| Welterweight, light welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight, and flyweight | One boxer per weight category, registration deadline on 8 May 2025, and clubs must be in good standing with the Khomas Boxing Federation and have paid affiliation fees. |
Moses emphasizes that the AC Super Six promises to be a stepping stone for young boxers to rise through the ranks and gain recognition both nationally and internationally. To ensure the success of the league, he stresses the importance of clubs being in good standing with the Khomas Boxing Federation and having paid their affiliation fees before the registration deadline. “The AC Super Six promises to be a stepping stone for young boxers to rise through the ranks and make a name for themselves nationally and internationally. Stay tuned for more updates as the league unfolds,” Moses said.
Targeting Grassroots Talent
The AC Super Six Boxing League is designed to target talented boxers from the Khomas Region, providing them with an opportunity to showcase their skills and gain recognition. Moses believes that investing in the development of grassroots talent is crucial for the sport’s long-term success. “This is how we groomed champions like Flame Nangolo, the current WBO Africa Super Featherweight champion, and rising stars like Harry Simon Jr.,” he said. The success stories of these athletes demonstrate the potential for grassroots development to produce world-class boxers.
- Grassroots development provides a solid foundation for future success.
- Investing in the development of talented boxers can lead to national and international recognition.
- Clubs that participate in the AC Super Six will benefit from increased exposure and opportunities for their boxers.
Moses’ vision for the AC Super Six is built on the principles of nurturing and supporting talented boxers, providing them with the necessary resources and opportunities to succeed. By targeting grassroots talent and investing in their development, the league aims to create a pipeline of talented boxers that can eventually dominate the sport on the continent.
