Boxer Beaven Sibanda Secures First Title in South Africa

At just 23 years old, Beaven Sibanda has already made his mark in the ring by winning his first championship belt in South Africa, an achievement he describes as life-changing.

Beaven, who has been training for over a decade, trained at the renowned Brian Mitchell Boxing Academy Gym in South Africa under the guidance of Coach Vusi. The gym is promoted by the respected Golden Gloves Promotions, which has helped nurture many rising boxing stars.

Originally a karateka, Beaven says his love for boxing was sparked by watching the legendary Floyd Mayweather. “I used to love watching Mayweather. He really motivated me,” he recalled. “One day I saw people doing boxing training and asked to join. Just three days later, I had my first fight and that’s how the journey began.”

That journey has not been easy. Beaven says winning his first belt came after years of hard work, sacrifice, and moments of doubt. “It means the world to me. It is my first belt and I value it a lot. There were times when the journey felt impossible, but I kept going thanks to support from my sponsors Pokerbet, CRBrands, and Lawson Fitness.”

He also paid tribute to Golden Gloves for promoting his career and giving him the platform to rise to champion status. “They supported me all the way,” he said.

Although his next fight has not yet been confirmed, Beaven promises fans that he will announce it as soon as it is scheduled.

Beaven had a special message for young aspiring athletes: “Work hard, have a solid team, and believe in God. Everything will fall into place.”

With his first belt secured and his eyes set on bigger goals, Beaven Sibanda is a name to watch in the future of African boxing.
