Sanele Magwaza is still the World
Boxing Federation (WBF) All Africa
Bantamweight Champion after making a
successful defense on Saturday
night, March 26, at the Fairview
Sports Centre in Gqeberha, South
Africa.
From Gqeberha, formerly known as
Port Elizabeth, Magwaza had the
crowd behind him as he out-boxed
fellow South African challenger
Arnel Lubisi for a wide unanimous
decision.
Lubisi was game and tried his best,
but the smooth skills and speed from
Magwaza was simply too much for him,
and for a long time it was clear
that he would probably need a
knockout to prevail.
Judges Phindiwe Ngingi and Vuyukazi
Ncata both scored the fight 98-92,
while judge Nkosinathi Zamela had it
slightly closer at 97-93.
Magwaza, who won the WBF title in
November of 2019, improved his
professional record to 6-2 (2).
Lubisi drops to 5-4 (4).
The fight headlined a show promoted
by Aphile Boxing Promotions.
