Nyoka Mpumulingisa's Questionnaire

KwaZulu-Natal, resides the Zulu monarch, presently King Misuzulu Zulu kaZwelithini, calls this place home, as do I, a warrior under their rule (For now). Located in close proximity to the city of Newcastle, I have a boxing gym which I live besides in an apartment complex. My living space has a single room that serves as both my home and my sanctuary, furnished with only the essentials. A comfortable bed for rest after intense training sessions, a gas stove for my culinary needs. Keeping in line with a minimalist lifestyle, my apartment has minimal furniture, allowing for a clutter-free environment. As I continue to pursue my passion for boxing, this simple life serves as a benefit in other ways: I can immerse myself fully in my craft, save money for when I need it, and not allow other worldly distractions from my Ancestral prayer.

My amazing life as an assistant boxing coach and Heavyweight boxer, I find joy in helping young boxers and achieving my own success in the ring. As a coach, I inspire and motivate boxers with my knowledge and experience, helping them reach their full potential. It's incredibly pleasing to see them grow and succeed, and I get paid to do both.

In addition to coaching, I train hard, stay disciplined, and have strong determination to be the best in my weight category. When I step into the ring, I fearlessly use my technique, strength, and agility to overcome any challenge. The prizes for fights, and days spent coaching gifts me not only combat prowess, but as I said before, money. I invest that back into Boxing, and helping out the community.

 I have learned important lessons about resilience, perseverance, and the strength of the human spirit. It's an honor to be a role model for aspiring boxers and continuously push my own limits as the unmatched Champion Heavyweight boxer. The Money is just a perk of passion.

Winning my first ever professional boxing match. As I stood in the ring, my heart racing, my adrenaline pumping, I could hardly believe that I had made it to this moment. The months of training, the sacrifices, the sweat and tears had all led to this one moment of truth. As the bell rang, I focused all of my energy and determination on my opponent. Xie Meng; Chinese Rookie boxer with a win record of 7-0. 7 Knockouts.

The first round was a test of both sides, and I could feel their skill with every clash. Further on, I could feel the power and strength coursing through my veins as I defended against them, dodging and weaving with precision. The crowd roared with excitement, their cheers and shouts fueling me to push harder and fight with everything I had. Before I knew it, it was the 10th and final round. My eye was swelling, they were still fine, or, at least I thought she was. My coach took me to my corner, consoled me: The points were not in my favour, if I didn't get a TKO on this round, my first match would end at a loss... I had to do something.

I sat up to fight in the tenth round, beating my gloves together before going all out. My opponent staggered back, her knees buckling beneath her, and I rushed in. Something overcame me, the rage, the bloodlust, the desperation. I countered almost every one of their punches, pushing them to their corner and hailing down a barrage of attacks. I had them in my grasp, they were about to break, and I was about to launch the final straw, but then... 3 dings. I backed away, panting heavilyas the weight of the loss overcame me... The feeling of failure, of loss and dissatisfaction. My first match.. A loss...

And then, a grasp from behind me, people rushed in besides Xie, medical officers. What was happening? People entered into the ring, lifting my arms and cheering. I was so delirious, I thought I had lost, but those three bells was them throwing in the towel. I won... I actually won!

The joy and elation I felt in that moment are something that I will never forget. It was a moment of triumph, of victory, and it was a feeling that I would chase after in every match that followed. That first win was a testament to resolve, my hard work, and my unwavering belief in myself. And it was just the beginning...
