In a battle of South Africans, Lybon
Ntshani stopped Khumbulani Mdletshe
on Saturday evening, February 26, to
win the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) All Africa
Welterweight title.
At the Multipurpose Hall in Nongoma,
KwaZulu-Natal, Mdletshe proved the
better boxer and was winning almost
every round when he started to tire
midway through the fight, and
dramatically ran out of steam in the
second half.
Widely behind on the scorecards, by
four, four and five points, Ntshani
seized his moment and in round eight
he was pummeling a defenselessness
Mdletshe, forcing referee Sipho
Zondo to step in a save the local
man.
Showing the importance of
conditioning and will-power, the new
WBF All Africa champion improved his
professional record to 4-1 (4).
Mdletshe drops to 8-4 (6).
The fight headlined a show promoted
by Ludonga Promotions.
