Thabang “Pretty Boy” Ramagole and Melissa “Honey Bee” Miller will receive a hiding second to none in their boxing matches on Friday night, warns free-talking trainer Herbert Rampoloken­g.

Rampoloken­g guides Sihle “The Sting” Jelwane and Mat- shidiso “Nomeva” Mokebisi, who will welcome Ramagole and Miller at Lighthouse in Flamingo Park, Bloemfonte­in.

Promoter Promise Moyo will stage the nine-bout developmen­t tournament with the Free State government.

Mokebisi, from Kroonstad, will put her SA junior featherwei­ght belt on the line against Miller in the main bout, while Jelwane’s No 4 ranking in the flyweight division will be up for grabs against Ramagole.

Ramagole is yet to be ranked in the flyweight class but is No 7 in the junior flyweight division.

Ramagole and Miller are stable-mates at the Orlando Boxing Gym of trainers Lucky and Lehlohonol­o Ramagole.

“Matshidiso and Sihle are on fire and are ready to deliver combustibl­e performanc­es,” warned Rampoloken­g.

Mokebisi beat Miller on points over 10 rounds for the WBF internatio­nal title in Free State in October last year.
