Late King Zwelithini was not publicly vocal about his passion for boxing but he had planned to motivate young people to participate in the sport that has succeeded in preventing some children from living in the streets, where some have lost their lives through drug abuse.
This was revealed yesterday by Arnold “Squire” Nododile, who was on speaking terms with the late king of the Zulus. Nododile is the CEO of J4 Joy International Promoter, which is owned by prominent businessman and promoter Jacob Mnisi of Mpumalanga.
“That is where the idea of the Royal Championship belt was born; King Zwelithini named it Bayede Championship. A discussion went as far as determining the features that were to be in the design of the royal championship belt. There is a crest of Zulu Kingdom at the centre of the belt and that through King Zwelithini’s instructions in terms of design.
Ntethelelo Nkosi and Lindokuhle Dlamini will fight for the inaugural belt in the junior-welterweight division while Roland Malindi will welcome Mexican Jorge Orozco Mendoza for the WBF vacant bantamweight title.
