After two successful defenses of the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
International title, South African
Gcina Makhoba. 8-1-1 (3), will be in
for his biggest challenge to date
when he fights for the vacant WBF
World Super Flyweight title on
Saturday, December 3, in his
home-town Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal.
In the opposing corner will be
Filipino Robert Paradero,
18-3-1 (12), a man with much more
world level experience than the
local hope.
Paradero
(26) twice challenged for WBA world
titles last year, losing by split
decision to Victorio Saludar and by
fifth round stoppage to Thammanoon
Niyomtrong. He will likely fancy his
chances against an opponent who has
yet to compete at his level.
Makhoba won the WBF International
crown in February of 2020, and
retained the belt a year later and
again this past October. While
showing in those fights that he has
even more to offer, only time will
tell if he can raise to the occasion
and handle what Paradero
will bring.
HLE-jobe Promotions presents Gcina
vs. Paradero
for the vacant WBF World Super
Flyweight title at Majuba College
Hall in Dundee, South Africa.
