Two boxers under Nestor Tobias' stable will attempt to defend their respective titles at the Ongwediva Trade Fair this weekend. Charles Shinima, also known as 'Super Shine', and Paulinus 'John John' Ndjolominus will showcase their talent on home soil.

The MTC Nestor Sunshine Tobias Boxing and Fitness Academy's "Together as One - Part 10" bonanza will be hosted this weekend. There are three titles on the line, including two internationals and one national. 11 cards will be featured on the night at Ongwediva, come the first of September.

Charles Shinima, who is unbeaten after 16 fights, will defend his WBO Africa welterweight title, stepping into the ring against a boxer from Tanzania called Idd Pialari. Meanwhile, Paulinus 'John-John' Ndjolominius will also defend his National Super middleweight title in a 12 rounder against yet another Tanzanian opponent called Joseph Maigisiya.

At a press briefing today, both Shinima and Ndjolominus promised to give it their all in their attempt to defend their titles.

"Knowing all the opponents is my way class from the top dogs until my ranking down there. I study all my opponents because you must expect to fight anyone either on top or bottom. Almost losing the last fight does not affect me going into this fight so I am going into this fight and try my best to remain the champion." - Charles Shinima

"As I have seen his record, he only lost one time, he is good at his own. I have been prepared as usual. We are good to go and we are fit for the fight." - Paulinus 'John-John' Ndjolominus

According to promoter Nestor Tobias, the opponents from Tanzania are expected to arrive on Tuesday afternoon.
