Francois Botha was a South African Boxer, Kickboxer and MMA Fighter who competed for over 25 years in professional combat sports. He entered his name into the great heavyweights and top South African Fighters of all time when he won the vacant IBF Heavyweight Title against German Axel Schulz in Germany.
Francois Botha fought the best fighters that the heavyweight division had to offer across three decades including the likes of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. He possesses notable wins over Schulz, Timo Hoffmann and Mike Tyson sparring partner and Australian heavyweight Champion Bob Mirovic in his native South Africa to win the vacant WBF Heavyweight Title.
I recently got the opportunity to do an exclusive interview Francois Botha and asked him about he’s glorified career, how the pandemic has affected him, what he has done post-boxing and his thoughts on the current boxing scene including the heavyweight division and the much-anticipated matchup between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua
