Two World Boxing Federation
(WBF) Championship fights are
the main attraction when Exodus
Boxing Academy promotes on
Saturday September 28 at the
Harare International Convention
Center in Harare, Zimbabwe.
In the main event, local
favourite Charles Manyushi,
23-4-1 (14), takes on former
champ Diego Diaz Gallardo,
22-6-1 (13), from Argentina, for
the vacant WBF World
Middleweight title. Manyushi is
aiming to make a break-through,
while Diaz Gallardo will attempt
to resurrect his career after a
set-back.
A professional since 2009,
Manyushi (30) has won several
regional titles on his way to
this his first crack at world
honours. Diaz Gallardo won the
WBF World title in 2017 and made
one successful defense, before
being stripped when he was upset
by compatriot Billi Facundo Gody
in a non-title fight late last
year.
In the second WBF title fight,
undefeated Brandon Denes clash
with Byson Gwayani for the
vacant Intercontinental crown at
Light Welterweight. It will be
the first championship fight for
both men, and a real chance to
make their mark.
Zimbabwean Denes brings a record
of 6-0 (3), having entered the
paid ranks in May of last year.
Gwayani, a 23-year-old Southpaw
from Malawi, made his pro debut
in March of 2016 and has since
compiled a 12-6 (5) ledger.
