Carnival City will stage the highly anticipated Making a Champ (MAC) Boxing Series on December 7.<\/p>\n
Some of the cream of the crop in boxing will descend on the Big Top Arena for an action-packed fight night.<\/p>
Venturing to South African shores for the event are American Shawn Simpson and his coach, former light heavyweight champion Montel Griffin.<\/p>\n

The WBC and ABU World Title Championships will be up for grabs at this event.<\/p>\n
The WBC Silver International Flyweight title will be between Jackson Chauke (SA) and Alfred Muwowo from Zambia.<\/p>\n
The full bout list will be communicated closer to the event.<\/p>\n
