PROMO

Not exactly a part of the schedule, but worth reporting, is that the title bout between Mzonke Fana and Cassius Baloyi has been pushed back to September 1, 2010. South Africa's main network that broadcasts boxing, the SABC, ran out of money because it overspent to air the World Cup. In the meantime, the network has a full blackout on boxing as a cost-cutting measure, but the fight has been pushed back a few weeks in hopes that the network will be able to find the funds for the fight. Let's hope that they can get funds together for at least the major fights, because if nobody is airing boxing on TV in South Africa, that would be a major blow to the sport there. This is one of two major title fights Branco Milenkovic has already paid for that need to take place by the end of the month (the other being Moruti Mthlane vs. Zolani Tete in another title bout between two legitimate top 10 contenders), and he stands to lose a bundle if he can't get them aired on TV somewhere.
