Boxing In South Africa: Carousel Boxing FeastBy Boxing Press November 13th, 2007 All Press ReleasesStill not content after the overwhelming success of their WBC International double header at Wembley Arena last Friday, Branco Sports Productions (BSP) are going one better at the Carousel Casino on Friday, November 30. With last Friday’s Lucky Lewele-Bongani Mwelase welterweight battle firmly entrenched as the top contender for “Fight of the Year” honors, multiple award-winning promoters BSP have decided to wrap up their most successful year yet, with a massive “Triple Header” at the popular casino north of Pretoria. BSP supreme Branco Milenkovic unveiled the details of the tournament today, just prior to jetting off to Manila in the Philippines, where he will be lobbying for better ratings for his nine WBC International champions at the WBC Annual Convention. The Carousel International Boxing Extravaganza will feature the unbeaten WBC International light flyweight champion Phumzile Matyhila (15-0), currently ranked # 12 by the WBC and 14th by both the IBF and WBO, who will face the Filipino challenger Alex Aroy. Many believe Aroy was extremely unlucky to have emerged from his straw-weight battle against another South African, Zukisani Kwayiba, back in September. Always true to his promise, promoter Milenkovic said he would do everything to bring Aroy back. WBC International bantamweight champion Vusi Malinga (WBC # 4 and IBF # 9), who is penciled in for a world title challenge in the New Year, will defend his prestigious green belt against the Argentinean Sergio Victor Caruso. The Carousel bash will also feature the former IBF world champion and the current top world title contender Malcolm Klassen, who engages another Argentinean Pablo Ernesto Olivetta in a fight which could propel him towards another world title shot in the new year. It will be Klassen’s first fight under the BSP banner since he ditched his previous promoters after losing his IBF title defense against champion Mzonke Fana in April. Another very familiar name on the card at the Carousel, will be that of former IBO and South African junior bantamweight champion Simon Ramoni, who faces “Baby Champ” Bongani Mahlangu, while BSP’s unbeaten welterweight prospect Chris van Heerden will be back to make his second appearance at the casino venue.
