Former South African lightweight champion Irvin Buhlalu from KwaZulu-Natal has been appointed as the new chairperson of the Boxing South Africa (BSA) sanctioning committee.
Buhlalu leads the committee, which is made up of veteran ring official Siya Vabaza-Booi, journalist Droeks Malan and Tinyiko Nkatingi, who is the BSA provincial manager in Limpopo.

Meanwhile, Andre de Vries is back as the chairperson of the ratings committee, which is made up of Xolile Dike, erstwhile SA junior-welterweight titlist Nika Kumalo and former International Boxing Organisation (IBO) bantamweight champion Silence Mabuza.
Thumbs up for the new appointment of Mr Irvin Buhlalu as the new Chairman Of The Ratings Committee. Good selection of the Committee Members as well and thr good move for the BSA going forward.
