World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Super Flyweight
Champion Gcina Makhoba is set to
defend his title for the first
time on February 27 in Durban,
against fellow South African
Thulani Gumede.
Both are from the KwaZulu-Natal
province, so pride and bragging
rights will very much also be on
the line in this local
encounter.
A pro for just over three years,
the champion brings a record of
5-1-1 (1), with Gumede bringing
a 7-1-1 (3) ledger to the party,
having entered the paid code in
June of 2016.
Makhoba won the WBF
International
title last February with a
technical decision over
Musawenkosi Ndwandwe, while
Gumede scored a non-title
victory on the undercard.
Both have since been waiting
patiently for a return to the
ring, and now it happens in this
highly anticipated main event
promoted by Starline Boxing
Promotions.
Styles makes fights, as the old
boxing-saying goes, and these
two will almost certainly set
the house on fire come February
27.
