SEASONED kick-boxers Brighton Tangata and Terrence Munemo have begun a series of training to intensify their preparations ahead of the Word Championship in Turkey later this month.
The tournament will run from December 8 to 28 and will see Tangata and Munemo battling it out with fighters from across the globe for medals.
Zimbabwe qualified for the World Championships to be held in Turkey from November 28 to December 8 when Tangata and Terrence Munemo finished in the top three during an international tournament in Libreville, Gabon, in June. The international tournament was used as a qualifier for the championships.
Tangata revealed that the preparations are going so well and that they were ready to compete in Turkey for medals.
“I have to compete in this tournament to prepare for the World Championships.
“I will be competing in the middleweight division but it will depend on the kick-boxers that would have come for the tournament.
“At the moment, my preparations are going on well, I am doing as much as I can and the tournament will give me the chance to assess myself,”he said.
Tangata said he knows what to expect in Turkey hence the need to be adequately prepared for the event.
“The difference is that the people we will meet in Turkey are real professional fighters who concentrate on kick-boxing. It’s their lifestyle compared to us, we don’t have proper equipment and
resources.”
