Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, Manaka Ranaka said she took the opportunity to fight Zodwa Wabantu to raise awareness about women in boxing. She added that she hopes this fight will give the much-needed attention to the sport.

“What inspired me to participate in this upcoming show with Zodwa is the shortage of women in boxing. This is about the rise of female boxers. Mpumalanga only had three female boxers and this year they have zero. The country actually has less than ten female boxers. So this is about raising awareness and encouraging females to start boxing again.
