It remains to be seen if Thomas “Tommy Gun” Oosthuizen can still catch the fire which made him the biggest drawcard in Golden Gloves boxing tournaments.
The immensely talented left-hander from Boksburg won all his titles – junior and high profile ones – including the SA and IBO super-middleweights as well as the same organisation’s light-heavyweight belts at Emperor's Palace in Kempton Park. He was in his 20s then.
In his last fight, in September 2021, Oosthuizen beat Youssouf Kasongo Mwanza on points in a non-title light-heavyweight contest which was also promoted by Hebler in Pretoria. Oosthuizen’s only loss in a local ring was to skillful Thabiso Mchunu. His other defeats were against Igor Mikhalkin and Aleksei Egorov in Germany and Russia respectively.
