Undoubtedly, it is a fact that boxing at the amateur level is a preparatory ground in the sport of boxing leveraged as a yard stick to the professional ranks.
As a precursor, many prospects who are still at the amateur ranks are unlikely to achieve their dreams of turning professional if bereft of events and shows at the formational stage.
In light if this, the current President of the Senegal Professional Boxing Federation (SPBF) who is a former WBA World champion (3 time), Soulaymane Mbaye (42-6-1, 23KOs) has therefore made plans to stage Senegal’s first professional boxing event in the country since 2013 to give hope to those prospects who are desirous to become boxing greats.
According to Mr. Mbaye, his aim is to give the young ones a chance to also feature on the international stage. In his own words;
“My name is Souleymane Mbaye, 3 time WBA boxing champion. Today I am the president of the Pro league federation, my job is to give the chance to our young generation of future pro boxers so that they can one day have the chance to do international fights that the world of boxing will know that there is a big potential here in Senegal.”
In his quest to make this possible, the Senegal Pro Boxing boss, Soulaymane Mbaye, sought recommendations for a top promoter who could stage a professional boxing event in Senegal.
According to our sources, a Ghanaian boxing guru who happens to be a matchmaker and a promoter for Safe-Box Boxing Promotions, Mubarak Yusif Nanor was recommended to him.
In an exclusive interview with Mr. Yusif Nanor, he disclosed that the President of the Senegal Professional Boxing Federation, Soulaymane Mbaye, in collaboration with Safe-Box Promotion and Ace Power Power Promotions will storm Senegal with a mega professional boxing event in July.
It is well pleasing that the tireless efforts of our matchmakers, boxing coaches/trainers, etc. aren’t going unnoticed.
