Aquila Boxing Promotions is raising the stakes in African boxing—and they're backing Boyd Allen to deliver something unforgettable. In the headline bout of Fistic Havoc, the rising South African star returns to the ring in a battle that’s as personal as it is professional.

Facing off against Allen is Botswana’s unbeaten southpaw, Kagiso Bagwasi—a fighter touted by insiders as Africa’s next breakout sensation. With a perfect 6–0 record and three knockouts, Bagwasi is coming for more than a win—he’s coming for the throne.

But Allen isn’t just fighting to win. He’s fighting to mean something. “I want to leave something behind in this sport,” Allen told reporters at media day. “Not just wins, not just belts. I want to be remembered as someone who respected the game and gave it everything.”

With a record of 8–1–1 and a Pan African title to his name, Allen’s résumé is growing—but it’s the man behind the stats that’s drawing attention. Once a champion in EFC (Extreme Fighting Championship), Allen has reinvented himself in the boxing world with discipline, humility, and an unmistakable sense of purpose.

This isn’t just another bout. This is a defining moment. “We’re not just putting on fights,” says Aquila Boxing Promotions’ founder Kevin Lerena. “We’re building the tracks for African fighters to reach the global stage. This is the foundation.”

Lerena, himself a world-class fighter, isn’t doing it alone. “We're beyond grateful to have powerhouse partners in our corner — the kind that don’t just support the vision, they supercharge it. Massive thanks to my sponsors: World Sports Betting, Tigris Wealth, Supersport, JCP Steel, and HP. Without your backing, this event wouldn’t be the premier, high-calibre showcase it is today. You don’t just elevate the event — you define it.”

Fistic Havoc isn’t just a night of boxing—it’s a bold statement from Aquila Boxing Promotions: Africa’s time is now, and its fighters are ready for the world stage.

For Boyd Allen, this is no swan song.

It’s a spiritual battle. A legacy moment.

And come June 21, the world will be watching.
