The Salt Showdown, a prestigious social boxing event, took place at Club Salt in Swakopmund in collaboration with the Namib Boxing Academy on Saturday.

The event brought together amateur fighters from Botswana, Khorixas, Opuwo, Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, showcasing the best of regional talent in an evening filled with excitement and sportsmanship.

One highlight was the participation of fighters from the Kunene region, sponsored by Delano Muller. For many of them, it was their first time visiting the coast and experiencing the grandeur of a boxing event of this stature, as well as seeing the ocean for the first time. Their awe and excitement added a unique and heartwarming dimension to the evening.

Delano Muller, representing the Namib Boxing Academy as a coach, expressed immense pride in his team’s accomplishments. His dedication to the sport and to his athletes was evident throughout the event, as he guided and supported his fighters with unwavering commitment.

The Salt Showdown not only provided a platform for showcasing boxing talent, but also emphasized the importance of community and accessibility in sports.

Delano’s initiative to sponsor fighters from remote regions highlights the need for support from companies and organizations to help grow the sport and make it more accessible.

The event was a resounding success, with fighters demonstrating exceptional skill and determination in the ring. The collaboration between Club Salt and Namib Boxing Academy set a new standard for social events in the region, promising even more excitement and memorable moments for boxing enthusiasts in the future.

As the final bell rang, the cheers and applause from the audience echoed through Club Salt after an unforgettable evening of boxing action. The Salt Showdown not only celebrated the sport, but also brought together a community in support of its athletes and their dreams.
