Zimbabwean Bongani Makovora, 7-5 (3), is set to fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) All Africa Bantamweight title on August 30 in Harare.
The 27-year-old home-man, will face Musa Kananji, 2-1 (1), from Malawi in the featured bout of a card promoted by Judgement Day Promotions.
Makovora turned professional in 2021 and won his first three bouts before running into a rough spell with four straight defeats.
He has since rebounded well, winning four of his last five, only losing a decision on away ground to Tanzanian Oscar Duge this past February.
If he can emerge victorious on August 30, and secure his first title as a professional, he will firmly prove that his mediocre record is deceiving.
