Representatives of the recently launched WBC SA, Larry Weinstein and Alan Norman, are patiently waiting for the head office of the WBC in Mexico to give them the go-ahead for the Africa belt, which Weinstein wants his fighter Ludumo “9mm” Lamati to fight for on May 22.
The BRD Promotions tournament at Booysens Gym is meant to give Lamati action since he has not donned gloves in a competitive match for more than eight months. His last fight was on June 19 last year.
“The WBC has not sanctioned the fight. We are waiting for the letter from the WBC but if it does not come we will have an international fight for Lamati,” said Weinstein yesterday. “The belt – called Ubuntu – is ready and it is very beautiful. BSA is happy to sanction it but the committee wants a letter from the WBC.”
