Postponed from its original date
of November 27, World Boxing
Federation (WBF) All Africa
Welterweight Champion Antonio
Mayala successfully defended his
title on Friday night, December
11, defeating fellow South
Africa-based Angolan Henriques
Lando in Cape Town.
In a very entertaining fight at
the Vibrant Sports Studio, with
action almost non-stop, Mayala
was a little bit sharper and
more active, as he landed the
cleaner punches and won most
rounds, despite all being highly
competitive.
After ten rounds of boxing there
was no doubt that Mayala was the
winner, with judges Elroy
Marshall, Fred Van der Ross and
Simphiwe Gceba all scoring the
fight in his favour: 98-91,
99-90 and 97-92. Referee was
Clifford Mbelu, and WBF
Supervisor Mickey Klass.
Mayala improved his professional
record to 13-3-1 (6), while
Lando drops to 7-2 (6). The
fight was promoted by Brice
Boxing Promotions, headed by
Jackie Brice.
