| South Africans and boxing fans are paying tribute to the legendary boxer Dingaan Thobela, who died on Monday following an undisclosed illness. | |
| He was aged 57. | |

| He competed professionally from 1990 to 2006, winning three world titles in two weight divisions. | |
| He had a record 40 wins out of the 56 fights he entered, 26 of which were knockouts. | |
