No rest for the wicked, as World
Boxing Federation (WBF) Championship
fights are scheduled for Nigeria on
December 24, and Tanzania on
December 26.
On the 24th at the Molade
Okoya-Thomas Indoor Sports Hall at
Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos,
Nigeria, WBF International
Welterweight Champion Rilliwan
Babatunde, 14-1 (8), will defend his
crown against Ghanaian Justice Addy,
16-10-1 (14).
Promoted by Flykite Boxing
Promotions and televised by GoTV,
this will be the first defense for
25-year-old “Babyface” Babatunde,
who won the title last April at the
same venue.
In Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania on the 26th,
two undefeated fighters will clash
for the vacant WBF International
Super Middleweight title on a show
promoted by Peak Time Promotions at
the Ubungo Plaza.
Local puncher, and reigning
Tanzanian national champion,
Selemani Kidunda, 7-0 (7), will face
his, on paper, best opponent to date
in Congolese Erick Tshimanga
Katompa, 13-0 (5).
Tshimanga Katomba is fighting in
Tanzania for the second time, as he
is coming off a unanimous decision
victory over another local favorite,
former WBF Intercontinental Champion
Abdallah Paziwapazi, in October.
