Noni Tenge remains the World
Boxing Federation (WBF) Womens
World Super Welterweight
Champion after defeating
long-time rival Mapule Ngubane
by sixth round technical
knockout on Sunday, August 25,
at the Indoor Sports Centre in
Mdantsane, East London, South
Africa.
After two previous fights where
Ngubane held her own in
entertaining scraps before
losing decisions, Tenge proved
to be on another level in the
third encounter, as she
dominated the fight and
eventually forced Ngubane to
retire on her stool after round
five.
This was the third successful
defense of the WBF World title
for Tenge, who, as one of the
most accomplished South African
female boxers, is also a former
WBA World titlist at Super
Welterweight, and WBF and IBF
World Champion at Welterweight.
A pro since 2007, Noni “She Bee
Stinging” Tenge improved her
impressive record to 20-1-1
(11), while former South African
national Middleweight
title-holder Mapule Ngubane
drops to a misleading 8-8-3 (1).
The fight was promoted by Zbashy
Promotions & Events, headed by
Sibongile Matiti.
