Zulu king-Mayweather boxing promoter suspended over fiasco

The promoter behind the aborted tournament that was supposed to feature Floyd Mayweather and Zulu King Misuzulu last year has been suspended, regulator Boxing SA (BSA) said on Wednesday morning.

Jacob Mnisi, the central figure behind J4Joy Promotions, will face a disciplinary hearing.

“The suspension is based, among others, on developments around the invitation of Floyd Mayweather to South Africa and actions around the tournament,” BSA said.

“[BSA] will in due course conduct a disciplinary hearing against Mnisi and further details will not be divulged until the disciplinary hearing is concluded.”
