Someone’s zero has to go
The junior middle weight boxer will look to extend his winning ways against the younger Knapp, who has the advantage of more fights and zero loses.
One undefeated streak between Linda Ntshingila and Roarke Knapp – two dominant boxers – is expected to be broken when these fighters clash next month.
Ntshingila, 29, from Team Dida Boxing Promotions made his return to the ring at professional level in 2016 after taking a break to shape his career as an information technology practitioner for top telecommunication companies.
Since his return to boxing, which is his first love, he’s been a dominant force in the ring, winning all four his fights either by knockout (KO), technical knockout (TKO) or points.
The junior middle weight boxer will look to extend his winning ways against the younger Knapp, who has the advantage of more fights and zero loses.
The fight will be held on 7 December at Carnival City.
Speaking about his preparation, Ntshingila said, “I have a hand injury and weight concerns that have been obstacles before, but I’m working on them. I’m ready and confident that I will win this fight, “he responded.
His coach, Dida Dipheko, who has an impressive record of training one of the best boxers in the country, said someone’s zero has to go, but it will not be his boxer’s. “He’s fighting against a good boy (Knapp), but as long as you’re not part of my camp you will never win,” he said.
