The 37-year-old had to get over the disappointment of being stripped of the SA bantamweight champion status, three days after she was announced as the winner, after a Boxing SA provincial manager gave out the wrong scorecards to the ring announcer.
The 37-year-old had to get over the disappointment of being stripped of the South African bantamweight champion status, three days after she was announced as the winner last month.
This is not the first time Jacobs has made such a blunder. In March last year, South African flyweight champion Jackson Chauke fought to a draw with Phumelele Cafu, who was incorrectly declared the winner. It also took a few days to rectify the error.For Miller, what happened was not only embarrassing but also heartbreaking.
The boxer added that she almost quit the sport after the incident, but has since gathered enough strength to focus on the fight on Saturday.
