Herbert Nkabiti (27 March 1981 – 29 April 2017) was a Botswana professional boxer who competed from 2009 to 2017. As an amateur, he won the junior welterweight silver medal at the 2007 All-Africa Games.
Amateur career
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Nkabiti lost his second fight to eventual English winner James Russan. At the All-Africa Games, he defeated Rasheed Lawal and Rachid Tariket, but lost the final to Hastings Bwalya.[1] He failed to qualify for the 2008 Olympics, losing his bout in the Olympic qualifier to Hamza Hassini.[2]
Professional career
Between 2009 and 2014, Nkabiti compiled a 12-2-1 record, going unbeaten in his first bouts.[3] On 28 April 2017 Nkabiti received a head injury in a fight with South African boxer Willers Baloyi. After sustaining a big uppercut, Nkabiti complained to his corner he was having trouble breathing. Nkabiti was taken from the ring, sedated, and rushed by ambulance to Sunwood Hospital. A CAT scan revealed Nkabiti had an old hairline fracture in his skull.
Nkabiti was moved to Thelle Mogoerane, a state of the art medical facility in Vosloorus, in an attempt to save his life. He died on 29 April 2017.[4]
