In South Africa the politics in Boxing is Ridiculous. In fact Boxing in South Africa is Politics. It does not matter how good you are if you come up against a fighter from a certain Amateur Club you will lose because the officials are all mates with the coaches and family of the boxer's. Than when it comes to Pro Boxing we have 1 gym that get's recognised. Fighter's from that gym get all the Big Title shots and all the money. There is so much politics involved that many Boxer's lose faith and retire prematurely and it is killing the sport. I would just like to know if there is politics in Boxing all over or if it is just here in SA? If you have been Cheated, Please Let me Know your Story?

Wow, I did not know that is happening in SA!!
That's wrong for the SA boxing.
That people should be eliminated from the SA local boxing forever.
You are 100% right: They are wrong!!
