World Boxing Federation (WBF)
All Africa Welterweight Champion
Antonio Mayala successfully
retained his title on Friday
night, August 30, at the Wynberg
Military Base in Cape Town,
South Africa.
Originally from Angola but based
in Cape Town, Mayala scored a
lacklustre split decision over
Soweto challenger Onke Duku in
the main event of a show
promoted by Brice Boxing
Promotions.
With two much holding from both
parties throughout, referee
Eddie Marshall had a busy night
trying to keep the fight clean,
and many rounds were difficult
to score.
After ten messy stanzas, judges
Fred Van der Ross and Sipho
Ndongeni scored the fight 97-92
and 98-91 for Mayala, while
judge Elroy Marshall scored it
95-94 for Duku.
Antonio Mayala improved his
professional record to 12-3-1
(6), making his second
title-defense. Onke Duku falls
to 9-5-2 (5).
