Ali Funeka's Punishment Being Pushed By Local Media

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There is a lot of controversy in the South African press over Ali Funeka's Feb. 14 fight with Nate Campbell. The controversy has nothing to do with the final scores of the Florida fight. The big issue is Funeka and his team leaving South Africa without being cleared by the BSA [Boxing South Africa]. [details]

wtf? I bet if he won they'd be singing a different tune. *******s. If he gets suspended for a year I hope he moves to the U.S, he could do well here (or anywhere for that matter).

I agree. Hopefully he can get a big fight or a shot at one of the vacated belts.

If Funeka moves over here, States side, and gets a proper trainer he could go places.

Sounds real weird to me..

I hope he says "F#ck It", and moves to the U.S. permanently...I'd really hate to see him fade off of the scene after such a great performance against Cambell.

Sounds like a bunch of power-crazed petty beaurec**** offended that their pathetic sphere of influence wasn't respected and/or because they didn't get their slice of the pie.
