Reply:
There are no disputes that involve boxers not being paid by promoters, which have been brought to our attention, as the Department of Sport and Recreation South Africa. The last dispute that involved boxers not being paid their purse money by promoters was resolved by the end of December 2016. The promoters responsible were subjected to a disciplinary process. In that respect the last incident took place in April 2016 and there hasn’t been any such incident since then.
