FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REVIEW OF THE VACANT SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT: DYLAN PROSSER vs. SNAMISO NTULI
PRETORIA — Boxing South Africa (BSA) has taken note of the public outcry and concerns raised by various boxing stakeholders regarding the outcome of the vacant Super Middleweight Championship bout between Dylan Prosser and Snamiso Ntuli, which took place on 18 April 2026 at Fight Island, Insane Boxing Promotions event at Makers Landing in Cape Town.
The contest, a gruelling 12-round battle, saw Mr. Prosser declared the winner by way of a split decision. BSA acknowledges the dissatisfaction expressed by Mr. Ntuli’s corner and the broader boxing community with respect to this outcome.
In light of these concerns and to ensure the integrity of the sport, Boxing SA wishes to confirm that the bout will be subjected to a formal review process in strict accordance with the South African Boxing Act, 2001 (Act No. 11 of 2001), the South African Boxing Regulations, 2004 as amended, and the BSA Fight Review Policy.
An independent panel of three experienced judges, drawn from different provinces to ensure a balanced and objective assessment, will be appointed to review the footage of the entire bout against official scoring criteria. BSA will follow its prescribed regulatory procedures, and the decision of the fight review panel will be final.
In parallel, Boxing SA wishes to re-emphasise that the issue of ring officiating is a critical matter which the organisation is actively working to reform. A Ring Officiating Technical Panel has already been appointed and will facilitate all ring officiating matters, including the ongoing monitoring, training, grading, and recommend consequence management of referees and judges. This forms part of BSA’s broader commitment to a “zero-tolerance” approach toward technical negligence and to eliminating below-par performance in technical officiating.
Boxing SA remains dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of fairness, transparency, and integrity in all matters pertaining to the sport. Further announcements regarding the outcome of the review process will be made in due course.
