Ancillary to same, Mendy ieu tasked jeung handap: (1) konpirmasikeun titimangsa, (2) ngamankeun tempat hiji, (3) book Zim boxers to feature in the Main Event, jeung / atawa kajadian ko-utama, jeung (4) idin papan aman ka tuan rumah acara.

Nu utama Pajajaran tina Méi diusulkeun 2015 inaugural event was slated to feature Former Two Time British Champion and Two Time Commonwealth Champion Danny Williams (46-18) nyokot dina Bulawayo sorangan Thamsanqa Dube (12-3), a former WBA Pan-African Champion.

Sajaba ti, kajadian ieu slated jadi syndicated regionally jeung di pasar séjén, sakuliah dunya salaku meujeuhna.

Dina furtherance Zimbabwe ambisi parusahaan, Mendy kenca New York pikeun Harare dina Pébruari 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, ngamankeun pangrojong ZBB eta kanggo kajadian nu diusulkeun, sanajan pasamoan kahiji dijadwalkeun dina agenda Mendy sacara ieu Dewan. Hanjakalna, teu ngan teu nu tinju Board Zimbabwe teu nyadiakeun unggeuk requisite, eta mah malah bakal sidang hiji pasamoan resmi Dewan narima rencana Mendy atawa tabel Singa Heart sacara. Dugi ka tanggal, jeung tilu minggu ka hareup, 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, ka pangaruh anu Board perlu leuwih waktuna ngahaja.

Alatan non-responsiveness nu ZBB sacara, 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, minuhan deadlines eta diusulkeun jeung disebutkeun kalah ka communcate, kumaha oge, 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. Saterusna, 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, Peta nu ZBB sacara (atawa inactions), ieu nu teu dipikaresep ku ZBB geus dititah mana wae kajadian tinju nyata dina istilah kiwari, istilah tilu taun nu wayahna dina bulan Désémber, atawa geus mana wae kajadian tinju dijadwalkeun dina kalénder anak. Sanes kang aya wae promoters lian ti Singa Heart knocking dina lawang Papan urang atawa nyoba ngamajukeun kajadian tinju di Zimbabwe. Kituna, urang sabenerna perplexed dibere pisan haneut wilujeng sumping jeung minat unabashed proyék urang disebutkeun tampa tina boxers, trainers, anggota séjén masarakat tinju, 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, can ieu teu nimpah hijina kajadian tinju nyata tabled saméméh, jeung hiji turnamen utama diusulkeun jeung mimiti diakuan sacara internasional di éta.”

Usaha singa Heart pikeun mantuan ngembangkeun cabang olahraga tinju di Zimbabwe, nu “Zim Project,” geus spanned leuwih dasawarsa. In addition to sponsoring various tournaments in Zimbabwe over the last decade, Singa Heart tinju Productions jeung boga ngusahakeun mantuan maju nu careers tina loba boxers Zimbabwean, kaasup mangka undefeated Thamsanqa Dube jeung Ismail Kuckocha, ku sponsoring eta jang meberkeun latihan jeung careers maranéhanana di AS nu. Tapi, sanajan naon eta percaya jadi usaha anak pangalusna, Singa Heart tinju Productions geus miboga kasuksésan kawates pisan jeung Zim Project sarta ngabogaan nanaon saeutik atawa pikeun mintonkeun pikeun usaha Herculean -na pikeun mantuan kamajuan tinju di Zimbabwe.

Tinju turnamén di Zimbabwe nu Singa Heart disponsoran teu ngahontal hasil finansial nu dipikahoyong. Saterusna, rupa promoters lokal jeung mitra Zimbabwean (lian ti 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. Saterusna, the Zimbabwe Boxing Board would not approve the signing of any of the fighters that Lion Heart had interest in the 2000’s. Nu panganyarna, Singa Heart sapuk pikeun mantuan hiji promoter lokal leutik, Delta Angkatan promosi, with an event he planned by securing the event’s purse money and depositing same with the Boxing Board. The local Promoter, kumaha oge, was unable to organize the event to the Board’s satisfaction. After that experience, Singa Heart pamustunganana ngumbar dina 2014 to give up on its Zim Project. Tapi, Singa Heart ieu yakin ku panulis dumasar Chit Town jeung urut Board ZBB Anggota Gilbert Munetsi ka persist di endeavors Zim sarta tetep dina digawé dina Project Zim.

Nyebutkeun pausahaan CFO Edward Mendy, “Sajujurna, 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, Singa Heart bakal lila terminated foray anak kana Zimbabwe tinju.”

Ditambahkeun Mendy, “Sanggeus leuwih ti sapuluh taun gawé tanpa kasuksésan dina Project Zim urang, kurangna urang sukses di nyoba asup rupa boxers Zim dibawa ka AS nu di 2004-2005, nu fiasco jeung Cox Chigwana di 2013 jeung leuwih usaha gagal anyar urang ngabantu Clyde Musonda jeung Delta-Na tinju Productions meunangkeun kajadian maranéhanana tina grounds di 2013-14, urang ngan saukur kudu nyanghareupan kanyataanana Zimbabwe bisa jadi teu pikeun urang. 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, Poténsi -na pikeun jumpstart tinju di Zimbabwe sarta ngalayanan salaku wahana pikeun sustainable Wisata Olahraga, nu minat tina pamangku kapentingan lianna jeung jumlah badag gawé geus nunda dina Project Zim.”
