Ni December ti 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. Nitorina na, awọn ile-pinnu lati fi awọn oniwe-CFO, Edward Mendy, si Zimbabwe tasked pẹlu nikan kan ohun-se iwadi awọn ise aseise ti alejo a Boxing figagbaga ni Harare lati wa ni waye lori April 16 tabi April 23, 2015 ni apapo pẹlu Zim ká 35th ominira Day ajoyo, or other date as feasible. Ancillary to same, Mendy a tasked pẹlu awọn wọnyi: (1) jẹrisi a ojo, (2) oluso a ibi isere, (3) book Zim boxers to feature in the Main Event, ati / tabi awọn àjọ-akọkọ iṣẹlẹ, ati (4) to ni aabo ọkọ aiye lati gbalejo awọn iṣẹlẹ.

Ni Ifilelẹ akj ti oyan ti dabaa May 2015 inaugural event was slated to feature Former Two Time British Champion and Two Time Commonwealth Champion Danny Williams (46-18) mu lori Bulawayo ile ara Thamsanqa Dube (12-3), a former WBA Pan-African Champion. In the Co-Main Event, Namibia ati ki o tele World asiwaju 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) je lati dabobo rẹ akọle lori ile ile fun igba akọkọ lailai tabi o kan ṣe kan Rating ija (koko ọrọ si awọn alakosile ti re ede Zambia olugbeleke Chris Malunga ati awọn rẹ awọn alabašepọ). 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. Siwaju, awọn iṣẹlẹ yoo ti a ti rebroadcasted lori a leti igba nipasẹ Ekun idaraya awọn ikanni ni USA, eyi ti de ọdọ lori 165 Milionu Amerika USB ile (lori 100 Milionu oto ile) lilo kiniun ọkàn Boxing Awọn iṣelọpọ’ established contractual relationships. Afikun ohun ti, awọn iṣẹlẹ ti a slated lati wa ni syndicated regionally ati ni awọn ọja miiran, agbaye bi seese.

Ni furtherance ti awọn ile-ile Zimbabwe ambitions, Mendy osi New York fun Harare lori Kínní 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, oluso ZBB support fun awọn ti dabaa iṣẹlẹ, ani tilẹ akọkọ ipade se eto lori Mendy ká agbese wà ni Board. Laanu, ko nikan ni Zimbabwe Boxing Board ko pese awọn ipile ẹbun, o yoo ko ani se ipade ohun osise ipade ti Board lati gba Mendy tabi tabili kiniun ọkàn ká eto. Titi di akoko yi, ati mẹta ọsẹ nigbamii, 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, si ipa ti awọn Board nilo diẹ akoko lati moomo.

Nitori awọn ZBB ká ti kii-responsiveness, 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, pade ti àkókò o dabaa ki o si bibẹkọ ti kuna lati communcate, sibẹsibẹ, 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. Siwaju, 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, awọn ZBB ká igbese (tabi inactions), ti wa ni wipe o ti wa ni ko fẹ awọn ZBB ti sanctioned eyikeyi gidi Boxing isele ninu awọn oniwe-lọwọlọwọ oro, a mẹta-odun oro ti o dopin ni Kejìlá, tabi ti eyikeyi Boxing iṣẹlẹ se eto lori awọn oniwe-kalẹnda. Bẹni wa ni eyikeyi awọn olupolowo miiran ju kiniun ọkàn knocking lori Board ká ilẹkun tabi gbiyanju lati se igbelaruge Boxing isele ni Zimbabwe. Bayi, a ti wa ni iwongba ti nṣe rọunrọun kiri fun awọn lalailopinpin gbona kaabo ati unabashed itara wa ise agbese bibẹkọ ti gba lati boxers, oluko, miiran ọmọ ẹgbẹ ti Boxing awujo, awọn 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, sibe o ti wa ni ko anesitetiki lori nikan gidi Boxing iṣẹlẹ tabled ṣaaju ki o, ati a dabaa pataki figagbaga pẹlu agbaye mọ bẹrẹ ni ti.”

Kinniun Okan ká akitiyan lati ran se agbekale awọn idaraya ti Boxing ni Zimbabwe, awọn “Zim Project,” ti fi nkowe a mewa. In addition to sponsoring various tournaments in Zimbabwe over the last decade, Kinniun ọkàn Boxing Awọn iṣelọpọ ati awọn oniwe-onihun ti gbiyanju lati ran advance awọn dánmọrán ti afonifoji ede Zimbabwe boxers, pẹlu ki o si undefeated Thamsanqa Dube ati Iṣmaeli Kuckocha, nipa sponsoring wọn lati tun wọn ikẹkọ ati dánmọrán ni USA. Sibẹsibẹ, pelu ohun ti o gbagbo lati wa ni awọn oniwe-ti o dara ju akitiyan, Kinniun ọkàn Boxing Awọn iṣelọpọ ti ní gidigidi lopin aseyori pẹlu awọn oniwe-Zim Project ati ki o ni o ni kekere tabi ohunkohun lati fi fun awọn oniwe-Herculean akitiyan lati ran ìlọsíwájú Boxing ni Zimbabwe.

Boxing awọn ere-idije ni Zimbabwe ti kiniun ọkàn ìléwọ kò se aseyori awọn ti o fẹ owo esi. Siwaju, orisirisi agbegbe awọn olupolowo ati ede Zimbabwe awọn alabašepọ (miiran ju 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. Siwaju, the Zimbabwe Boxing Board would not approve the signing of any of the fighters that Lion Heart had interest in the 2000’s. Julọ laipe, Kinniun Okan gba lati ran a kekere agbegbe olugbeleke, Delta Agbofinro ni igbega, with an event he planned by securing the event’s purse money and depositing same with the Boxing Board. The local Promoter, sibẹsibẹ, was unable to organize the event to the Board’s satisfaction. After that experience, Kinniun Okan nipari yanju ni 2014 to give up on its Zim Project. Sibẹsibẹ, Kinniun Okan ti a ìdánilójú nipa Chit Town orisun onkqwe ati ki o tele ZBB Board omo Gilbert Munetsi lati persist ni awọn oniwe-Zim tiraka ki o si ma pa lori ṣiṣẹ lori Zim Project.

Wí pé ile CFO Edward Mendy, “Lati so ooto, 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, Kinniun Okan yoo ti gun fopin si awọn oniwe-foray sinu Zimbabwe Boxing.”

Fi kun Mendy, “Lẹhin ti lori ọdun mẹwa ti ṣiṣẹ lai aseyori lori wa Zim Project, wa aini ti aseyori ni gbiyanju lati wole orisirisi Zim boxers lati mu si USA ni 2004-2005, awọn fiasco pẹlu Cox Chigwana ni 2013 ati awọn wa siwaju sii to šẹšẹ yanju akitiyan lati ran Clyde Musonda ati awọn rẹ Delta Boxing Awọn iṣelọpọ gba won iṣẹlẹ ti awọn aaye ninu 2013-14, a nìkan ni lati koju si otito Zimbabwe ko le wa ni fun wa. 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, awọn oniwe-o pọju lati jumpstart Boxing ni Zimbabwe ati ki o sin bi kan ti nše ọkọ fun alagbero idaraya Afe, awọn itara ti miiran oro na ati awọn nla iye ti ise tẹlẹ fi ninu Zim Project.”

Nipa kiniun ọkàn Boxing ni igbega (awọn olugbeleke)

Kinniun ọkàn Boxing Awọn iṣelọpọ ti wa ni agbaye Boxing olugbeleke ati idaraya Idanilaraya Company orisun ni US.
