Ing Desember 2014, Lion Heart’s Board of Directors met and resolved to have one final go developing Boxing in Zimbabwe by exploring the possibility of promoting a quarterly boxing series in Harare starting in April 2015. Akibaté, perusahaan mutusaké kanggo ngirim CFO sawijining, Edward Mendy, kanggo Zimbabwe tasked karo mung siji adil-neliti iso kedaden ing hosting turnamen tinju ing Provinsi Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam bakal dianakaké ing April 16 utawa April 23, 2015 magepokan karo 35th Dinten Kamardikan Zim kang, or other date as feasible. Ancillary to same, Mendy iki tasked karo ing ngisor iki: (1) konfirmasi tanggal, (2) ngamanake ajang, (3) book Zim boxers to feature in the Main Event, lan / utawa acara co-utama, lan (4) ijin Papan aman kanggo tuan rumah acara.

Ing Main Event saka Mei ngajokaken 2015 inaugural event was slated to feature Former Two Time British Champion and Two Time Commonwealth Champion Danny Williams (46-18) njupuk ing Jawa Timur iku dhewe Thamsanqa Dube (12-3), a former WBA Pan-African Champion. In the Co-Main Event, Namibian lan mantan World Champion Harry Simon (30-0) was selected to take on an opponent to be announced. The Undercard was to be highlighted by a special feature bout–WBC Africa Welterweight Charles Manyuchi (15-2) iki kanggo defend gelar ing lemah ngarep kanggo pisanan tau utawa mung nindakake perang HFS (tundhuk persetujuan kang Zambia Promoter Chris MALUNGA lan partners kang). Manyuchi is currently the most internationally recognized Zimbabwean Boxer and has been plying his trade in neighboring Zambia since 2012 for lack of options at home. The event would have been broadcasted live on ZTV and streamed live worldwide on the Internet. Luwih, acara kang wis rebroadcasted ing basis telat liwat saluran olahraga regional ing Amerika Serikat sing, kang tekan liwat 165 Yuta omah-omahé kabel Amérika (liwat 100 Yuta omah-omahé unik) nggunakake Lion King Boxing Productions’ established contractual relationships. Tambahan, acara iki slated bakal syndicated regional lan ing pasar liyane, donya minangka layak.

Ing nyepetake Zimbabwe ambitions perusahaan, Mendy ngiwa New York kanggo Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam ing Februari 26, 2015 on exploratory mission. He was received warmly by Zimbabweans of walks of life and spent a very enjoyable and productive ten days in Zimbabwe, visiting various cities and meeting with people. Lion Heart was able to achieve all of the stated goals except the last one, ngamanake support ZBB acara ngajokaken, malah sanadyan ing patemon pisanan dijadwal ing agenda Mendy kang Papan. Sayange, ora mung durung Boxing Papan Zimbabwe ora nyedhiyani anthukan requisite, iku ora malah bakal rapat patemon resmi Papan kanggo nampa plans Mendy utawa Tabel Lion Jantung. Kanggo tanggal, lan telung minggu mengko, Lion Heart has not received any correspondence from the Board on its application to host an event in May. The only information it has received relative to the event is from media reports, efek sing Papan perlu liyane wektu kanggo sengajo.

Amarga kanggo non-tanggapan ing ZBB kang, Lion Heart regrettably has decided to put its Zim Project on hold indefinitely. Says Lion Heart Event Coodinator Sporty Smith, “We have no choice but to put our Zim Project on hold since the ZBB has failed to afford us the smallest of professional courtesy. We can understand a Board’s refusal to sanction an event it does not like it. A failure by a Board to reply, ketemu wates wektu iku ngajokaken lan digunakake gagal kanggo communcate, Nanging, is unheard of. Not only was the board frosty in its welcome of Edward Mendy, it would not even convene a meeting of the board even though advance arrangements were made with it. Luwih, the Board would not even give us the courtesy of a response despite numerous follow-up inquiries. What is most shocking about the whole thing, tumindak ZBB kang (utawa inactions), sing wis ora kaya ZBB wis direstoni sembarang acara boxing nyata ing mangsa saiki, istilah telung taun sing kadaluwarsa ing Desember, utawa wis sembarang acara boxing dijadwal ing tanggalan sawijining. Sanadyan apa promotor liyane saka Lion King nuthuk ing lawang ing Papan utawa nyoba kanggo ningkataké acara boxing ing Zimbabwe. Mangkono, kita saestu kuwatir diwenehi arang banget anget sambutan lan semangat unabashed project kita digunakake ditampa saka boxers, kathok dowo, anggota liyané saka masyarakat boxing, media, tourism and other government officials as well as ordinary Zimbabweans. Basically we have a Boxing Board that has seen no boxing events in its current term, durung iku wis ora tumindak ing mung acara boxing nyata sangesn sadurunge iku, lan turnamen utama ngajokaken karo wiwitan internasional dikenali ing.”

Efforts Lion King kanggo berkembang sing bantuan ing olahraga kang Boxing ing Zimbabwe, ing “Zim Project,” wis mbentang liwat dasawarsa. In addition to sponsoring various tournaments in Zimbabwe over the last decade, Lion King Boxing Productions lan pihak sing nduweni sawijining wis ngupaya kanggo bantuan advance Careers pira-pira boxers Zimbabwe, kalebu banjur suwé Thamsanqa Dube lan Ismael Kuckocha, dening nyeponsori menyang luwih latihan lan Careers ing Amerika Serikat sing. Nanging, senadyan apa pracaya dadi efforts sawijining paling, Lion King Boxing Productions wis sukses banget winates karo Zim Project lan boten sethitik utawa kanggo nuduhake kanggo efforts Herculean kanggo bantuan kemajuan Boxing ing Zimbabwe.

Boxing turnamen ing Zimbabwe sing Lion King disponsori ora entuk asil financial sing dikarepake. Luwih, macem-macem promotor lokal lan partners Zimbabwe (liyane saka Gilbert Munetsi) that Lion Heart Boxing Productions had contracted with over the years had turned out to be unreliable and unproductive. Many of local promoters and partners promised much and delivered little. Luwih, the Zimbabwe Boxing Board would not approve the signing of any of the fighters that Lion Heart had interest in the 2000’s. Mentas, Lion King sarujuk kanggo bantuan sing promosi lokal cilik, Delta peksa Promosi, with an event he planned by securing the event’s purse money and depositing same with the Boxing Board. The local Promoter, Nanging, was unable to organize the event to the Board’s satisfaction. After that experience, Lion King pungkasanipun mantun ing 2014 to give up on its Zim Project. Nanging, Lion King iki nggawe percoyo penulis adhedhasar Chit Town lan mantan Papan ZBB Anggota Gilbert Munetsi kanggo tahan ing upoyo Zim lan tetep ing digunakake ing Project Zim.

Says perusahaan CFO Edward Mendy, “Kanggo jujur, equal credit for our perseverance on the Zim Project should go to Gilbert Munetsi and I. But for our continued pleading and my obstinacy in the face of adversity, Lion King bakal wis dawa mungkasi foray menyang Zimbabwe Boxing.”

Added Mendy, “Sawise liwat sepuluh taun apa tanpa sukses ing Proyek Zim kita, lack kita sukses ing nyoba kanggo mlebu macem-macem boxers Zim kanggo nggawa menyang Amerika Serikat ing 2004-2005, ing fiasco karo Cox Chigwana ing 2013 lan liyane efforts kasil anyar kita kanggo Clyde Musonda lan Delta kang Boxing Productions njaluk acara sing ing latar ing 2013-14, kita mung kudu ngadhepi kasunyatan Zimbabwe bisa uga ora kanggo kita. Our trials and tribulations in Zimbabwe are well-documented, covered in great part by the Zim media and well-known to members of the current Board. While I am not one to give up easily, I learnt a long time ago that there is really no sound business reason for force a promotion in a jurisdiction with an unfriendly board. This is very unfortunate considering the scale of the proposed May event, potensial kanggo Jumpstart Boxing ing Zimbabwe lan ngawula minangka kendaraan kanggo sustainable Wisata Olahraga, semangat saka kepentingan lan jumlah gedhe saka karya wis sijine ing Project Zim.”
