After coming up short in
title-challenges at Middleweight,
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International Super Welterweight
ruler Cristiano Ndombassy will be
back at his natural weight and
attempt to return to winning ways on
June 26.
Ndombassy, 12-6 (9), will make his
first defense of the WBF title,
taking on Junior Makondo, 8-5-1 (7),
at the Meropa Casino in Polokwane,
South Africa, headlining a card
promoted by Mama Rocks Boxing
Promotions.
“The
Warrior of Faith”, from Angola but
fighting out of South Africa, won
the title in March of 2021 with a
split decision over then undefeated
Jamie Webb.
For South African Junior Makondo it
will be his second shot at a WBF
title, having boxed to a draw with
Congolese Jacques Tshikubu Muvud for
the All Africa title this past
February.
The 26-year-old from Gauteng has
since defeated unbeaten Jackson
Kaptein in a non-title fight, and
will feel that he has the momentum
going in.
The show has been labeled “Peter
Makoba International Boxing Night”,
in honor of the late South African
politician.
