History tells us that overconfidence is dangerous for any athlete, and the sport of boxing has been particularly instructive in this regard.
A number of boxers, including Nkululeko Mhlongo, learnt the hard way that cockiness can be a boxer's own worst enemy after he knocked out John Bopape in the 11th round of their 12-rounder in Bloemfontein in April.Another fighter who is taking a big gamble is Lusana Komanisi, who has already signed a fight contract to challenge national champion Tshifhiwa Munyai to a showdown that is scheduled for September 17.
Granted, Cheka – a former WBF Africa and Universal Boxing Union Intercontinental junior-welterweight champion – is a journeyman. Such boxers have nothing to lose but a lot to gain with every chance they can get to fight for a title.
