On Friday August 30 at the
Wynberg Military Base in Cape
Town, South Africa, Angola-born
but locally based World Boxing
Federation (WBF) All Africa
Welterweight Champion Antonio
Mayala returns to defend his
title.
In the main event of a show
billed as “The Battle of the
Young Guns”, Mayala, 11-3-1 (6),
takes on challenger Onke Duku,
9-4-2 (5), from Soweto.
Nicknamed “The Eagle”, Mayala
won the WBF title in June of
2017 when he upset Jarred “Mr.
Hollywood” Silverman (9-3),
stopping the favourite in nine
rounds.
In June of 2018 he retained the
title with a draw against
undefeated Benoit Makangila Vela
(12-0-1) from D.R. Congo.
Since then he has stayed busy
with two non-title fight
victories, and he will be
looking to extend his unbeaten
run since 2016 to eight on the
spin.
Promoted by Brice Boxing
Promotions the card will also
feature two additional
championship fights, and a
stacked undercard involving
local talent in interesting
match-ups.
