Jackie Brice is angry because he cannot promote tournaments due to the court challenge brought by the National Professional Boxing Promoters Association (NPBPA) against Minister of Sport Zizi Kodwa’s decision to appoint and announce a new board for Boxing South Africa (BSA).
Brice, a Cape Town-based boxing promoter, had earmarked the 16th of March as the date of his first tournament this year. However, that’s unlikely to happen because of the NPBPA’s case against Kodwa.
“I wanted to have a show on the 16th of March, but now I can’t because of the National Professional Boxing Promoters Association. I fully support Minister Kodwa and I fully support the new board he appointed. The National Professional Boxing Promoters Association is killing boxing in this country. I had planned everything and now this,” a fuming Brice, who trades under the banner of Jackie Brice Boxing Promotions, said.
Brice, who was present in the meeting when the NPBPA executive committee was elected in October 2022, has revealed that he has resigned from the association.
“I decided to resign from the association after seeing that we were not even getting reports as members,” Brice, who is the most active promoter in the Western Cape, revealed.
