Accomplished and award-winning trainer-cum-manager Colin ‘Nomakanjani’ Nathan has been licensed by the Japanese Boxing Commission as a boxing manager.
Nathan, who is in Japan together with his boxer Lerato ‘Lights Out’ Dlamini, got his Japanese licence on Friday. He is now a dual licensee as he also has a Boxing South Africa (BSA) licence.
Nathan is going to be in Dlamini’s corner when he fights against Japanese boxer Tomoki Kameda in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) eliminator for the number two position at the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Nathan is the second South African boxing trainer to get a licence in a foreign country.
Cape Town-based boxing trainer Emil Bricw, who trains current World Boxing Federation (WBF) junior-lightweight champion Lunga Sitemela, is licensed in Nigeria.
