Junior middleweight Roarke Knapp to begin road to redemption in Johannesburg on Friday

Date: Dec 3, 2024

Junior middleweight boxer Roarke Knapp will begin his road to redemption at Emperors Palace in Kempton Park, East of Johannesburg on Friday night.

The popular boxer will head the "Rivalry Reloaded" bill against the tough Adones Cabalquinto of the Philippines.

The former undisputed world heavyweight champion, Lennox Lewis, will be the special guest in the event.  It will be Knapp's first bout since his agonising loss at the same venue back in June.

One of South Africa's most promising young fighters, Knapp lost in his bid for a world title when he was knocked out in the third round by Jorge Garcia Perez from Mexico in a clash for the vacant IBO junior middleweight title.

 The 26-year-old will have to make the necessary adjustments to challenge the division's top fighters. And he is looking to get his career back on track again.
