Algoa - Sweepstakes company this is a clothing company from Peru as far as I can see. I enjoyed Mr Adams sponsorship as he got the City involved with the Mayor and children. And Now ?

I don't know if this is them?...boxing connection at Turffies may mean something...... :ohmy:



Great new deal as FORUS links with Golden Gloves:

FORUS GLOBAL DIGITAL EXCHANGE :

In a major coup for Golden Gloves, financial services provider FORUS has signed a long-term partnership agreement with Africa’s leading boxing promotions company.
Announcing the sponsorship today, promoter Rodney Berman said it was the culmination of weeks of negotiations and reaffirmed boxing’s standing in the SA sports community.
“I’m delighted. They have been a pleasure to deal with and see boxing as a vehicle towards growth. I’ve no doubt our great sport can help propel their business, especially in communities that need it and where, incidentally, boxing is so popular.”
FORUS, which is still to formally launch in SA, has offices throughout the world, including the Caribbean, Mauritius, Atlanta and Los Angeles. It is an acronym for Free, Open, Real-Time, Ubiquitous, Secure.
The business is essentially a payment gateway, offering digital currency for traditionally “unbanked” people, of which there are millions in South Africa.
There is no cost to consumers and yet FORUS opens myriad possibilities, not least for low-income earners who traditionally don’t have access to banking.

MJ Voges, head of business development and sales at FORUS.
“We’re thrilled to have signed with Golden Gloves,” said Marc-Jon ‘MJ’ Voges, head of business development and sales at FORUS, which is based in Bryanston and also has offices in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
“This is relatively new for us, our only experience having been sponsorship of Chris van Heerden last year. We are prepared to learn and are in this for the long run. Our ethos is to help the underdog and empower business people, enabling them to trade.”
One of FORUS’ pre-conditions was that there be a development dimension to the agreement, which Golden Gloves readily agreed to.

Sonny Fisher, founder of FORUS.
Berman says he will be working closer with one of Golden Gloves’ favourite sons, Vuyani Bungu (now a promising trainer), and will also stage a tournament jointly with Kagiso Moleko and Simon Shila in Makapanstad in recognition of the sterling work they have done for their community.
Voges sees many parallels with boxing, whose participants overwhelmingly come from the hard streets.
“Boxing is close to our heart for this very reason . . . it is these very people we want to help, those who need it most,” said Voges.

I'm not sure how new this article is but the last I heard is their relationship went south. Golden Gloves released a statement mentioning how disapointed they were in this sponsor. That was about a year ago

You are correct. If you look at the FORUS Facebook page there are plenty of pictures of them at the Summer Cup. However they are all with the Extreme Fight Championship fighters now., which Forus sponsor.

Take anything Golden Gloves says with a pinch of salt. Their track record when it comes to longevity with sponsors is not great.

FORUS used to have an association with IBO champ Chris van Heerden at one stage as well.

Probably shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth, any company (and these guys are supposedly worth bombs) looking to invest in racing should be welcomed with open arms. Good luck to them.
