    Golden Gloves in South Africa have pulled the plug on the October 25 show. This fight might be re-scheduled for December in the US

    Very disappointed in all of this.
    Hope Jackson gets another opportunity.

    That is disgraceful fairweather friend behaviour by Golden Gloves South Africa. Its a setback but the card is set, the marketing is set, the broadcast is set, the sponsors are set. And who suffers the most, the boxers who have been let down.

    I think there is a great chance the card will be salvaged.

    This was for the vacant title. I had tried to save it by suggesting Grange's show the same month. Rodney for his reasons has decided otherwise. They are now looking towards a US show in December which hopefully can be accomplished and both fighters get their opportunity then. Obviously I was keen for Jackson to keep hold of his opportunity

    I spoke to Jamie Myer yesterday. He was gutted that this fantastic opportunity has been taken away from boxing. Said he'd happily try and fix the card, but wouldn't know who to contact. A shame really. Boxing yet again misses out.

    Asiku is one of few boxers in australia that could have a chance of winning a legit belt if given the chance!

    Kronkanoligy our time will come!
