No. The boerboel is related to a mastiff. The boerboel is also know as a South African Mastiff.

A Piebald Boerboel is also known as the South African Boerboel or South African Mastiff. This is a large dog breed from South Africa, bred for guarding the homestead.
There is only one English mastiff in particular but there are quite a few different types of mass tiffs in general such as the French mastiff, the South African mastiff, the Italiano mastiff, the Neapolitan mastiff, I remember reading somewhere there’s a Spanish mastiff, and then you have the English mass tiff of course. Dog from Turner and hooch was a French mastiff, I personally have Italian mastiff and an old friend of mine had the biggest of the big, the South African mastiff, even larger than the English mastiff . And believe me when I say the dog was huge! But those are the types that I can think about off the top of my head and they all have very different looks to them.

I am a South African and I am 15, I only weigh 45Kg and I am under weight compared to my friends. But you will have to take a survey or something to answer the question.

The Siberian and Bengal subspecies do. The Indo Chinese subspecies is roughly the same weight as an African lion. The other three subspecies (Malayan, Sumatran, South China), weigh less than the lion.
The Zulu Mastiff, also known as the African Mastiff or Boerboel, is a large and powerful breed originating from South Africa. Bred primarily for guarding homes and livestock, they are known for their loyalty, strength, and protective instincts. Zulu Mastiffs have a muscular build, a broad head, and a short coat, typically exhibiting a range of colors. They require consistent training and socialization to ensure they are well-behaved companions.
The South African Boerboel has a bite force of about 800-850 pounds per square inch (psi), which is similar to breeds like the Rottweiler and Mastiff. However, it is not as high as breeds like the Kangal or the American Pit Bull Terrier, which can have bite forces exceeding 1,000 psi.
The average size is a size 8. However the sizes are different in Africa To What they are. Hope This Helped :)
