“I AM the future champion,” those were the words of the 13-year-old Jason Jason from Tetemoto Boxing club after defeating his opponent Gottlieb Tyson from Bulelo Boxing Academy on the eve of Christmas.
Jason, who fell in love with the sport, started boxing only in April this year and has already had a record of three wins and one loss on his title.
The young boxer quickly burst into tears of joy before uttering another word.
“I was not expecting to win this bout as my opponent is more experience and has been in the ring for a while,” he added.
He stressed that he wants to be the next world champion, however, to do that more efforts need to be put in the ring to sharpen the skills he already has.
Jason indicated that all his whole life, he only wanted to try out boxing, but the second the gloves were put on, everything felt right for him.
Tetemoto Boxing promoter Emvula Emvula said that Jason has the potential to join the boxing greats of Namibia.
“His boxing skills are outstanding and continues to improve on his skills every time,” he said.
Emvula indicated that his young boxer has the potential to one day become a knock-out artist.
