Up-and-coming Tanzanian Idd Pialari treated himself to a nice present on Christmas Day, Sunday December 25, when he captured the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) All Africa Welterweight title at Diamond Jubilee Hall in Dar Es Salaam.
In the main event of a show promoted by Kaike Promotions, 23-year-old Pialari fought well throughout the entire ten rounds against undefeated compatriot Twaha Kiduku (24), and scored a well-deserved unanimous decision in front of a sizable and festive crowd.
Judges Ibrahim Kamwe, Agapeter Mnazareth and Saind Chaku scored the fight 97 – 93, 97 – 93 and 98 – 92 respectively. Referee in charge of the action was Sakwe Mtulya.
The new WBF All Africa champion, who lost his professional debut at only fifteen years of age in September 2009, improved his record to 17-2-1 (12), while former Tanzanian national Lightweight titlist Kiduku drops to 8-1 (5).
