"Florance came to South Africa when he was only one year old," said Mitchell, "and by now he's as South African as pap en vleis.

"Moreover, when you see this kid, who turns 20 on September 29, throw punches, you will know why everyone in amateur boxing circles is raving about his potential.

"Simba is a natural, if ever I've seen one."

I think we have another big champ about to take the world by storm and am keen to watch his progress...

Both Brian and Harold are legends and I for one seriously respect it's their opinions

Harold 47w 5l 2d,
Brian 45w 1l 3d

Who else remembers waiting till all hours of the night / morning to watch Brian Mitchell make boxing history with his unbeaten streak as world champ. Of course he had to fight his bouts away from home - many in the USA because of the political setup back then. Many good memories of sharing the couch with the old man and putting on the kettle 10 minutes before the first bell. Then suffering the day after lol. Those were the good old days of boxing. As WC, Brian never disappointed once.
