In what is possibly a first in South African boxing two tournaments will be presented on consecutive days at Emperors Palace near Kempton Park on Saturday and Sunday.
Both tournaments will be shown live on SuperSport.
SATURDAY
On Saturday night there will be three ten rounders and light heavyweight Brian Thysse will make his pro debut against Michael Head.
Roarke Knapp v Dante Jardon
Heading the bill will be the exciting junior middleweight 24-year-old Roarke Knapp (14-1-1; 11), who is never in a dull fight, against the more experienced 34-year-old Mexican, Dante Jardon (35-8; 25), who holds the NABF title.
This should be an exciting affair while it lasts, with the Mexican having a 58.14 per cent knockout ratio against the knockout ratio of Knapp at 68.75 per cent.
Provided Knapp boxes from behind his jab without going wild he must be favoured to win inside the distance
In another exciting junior middleweight contest, Brandon Thysse (14-3-1; 12) goes in against the rugged Angolan Cristiano Ndombassy (13-6; 10), who fights out of Cape Town.
This could also turn into a war, but one must favour the better boxer Thysse, provided he boxes from behind his educated jab and does not get involved in a punch-up.
In the third scheduled ten-rounder, the capable 28-year-old cruiserweight Akani Phuzi (12-2; 6) meets the veteran Johnny Muller (23-9-2; 14) for the third time.
Muller won the first encounter on a unanimous decision and in the return match he once again won on points, but on a split decision in a closely-fought contest.
Also on the card is the promising bantamweight Ricardo Malajika, who faces the more experienced Sihle Jelwana (12-8-1).
SUNDAY
In the main event the southpaw Chris Thompson (12-2-1; 7) makes the first defence of his South Africa heavyweight title against Keaton Gomes (8-2; 6).
The always superbly conditioned Thompson won the title in June this year when he outclassed Josh Pretorius over 12 rounds.
