Only one man can be the SA heavyweight champion, Carnival City, 18 April 2026
South Africa’s heavyweight division is set to explode once more in a blockbuster SA heavyweight title rematch. Promoter Boxing 5 is bringing out the Big Guns.
Champion Chris “The Wolf” Thompson (16-6-1 Win-Loss-Draw) returns to the ring to defend his crown against relentless challenger Shaun Potgieter in a high-stakes 12-round main event.
Their first clash was explosive — this time, it’s about more than just the belt. Pride, power, and national bragging rights are all on the line as two heavyweights prepare to settle unfinished business.
Thompson is out to solidify his reign and confirm his place at the top of the division. Potgieter comes back focused, dangerous, and determined to claim redemption. Expect heavy hands, smart tactics, and a championship battle that delivers from the opening bell.
