This is why they&#8217;ve invited Shereen Hunter, winner of the most promising promoter of the year award at the 2018 Boxing South Africa Awards, to be the guest speaker at their upcoming meeting.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Jaap van Nieuwenhuizen, chairperson of the ERVBA, said, \u201cWe are trying to get more women and children from our community involved in boxing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout the year we will be inviting guest speakers to our meetings with the hope of creating excitement in our community regarding boxing, and to ensure that when we host tournaments, people come to show their support.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post
