World
Boxing Federation (WBF) World Super
Featherweight champion Steven
Bagwazi will likely get his hands
full on June 9 in Gaborone,
Botswana.
Bagwazi, 8-1 (2), takes on South
African champion Lunga Sitemela,
15-1 (9), in what will be his first
title-defense.
Winning the WBF world title last
August with a dominating unanimous
decision over Tanzanian Said Chino,
Bagwazi made history by becoming the
first boxing world champion from
Botswana.
Sitemela is, at least on paper, by
far the best opponent so far in his
career, as the man from Cape Town
has faced, and defeated, stellar
opposition since turning pro in
2016.
The South Africans sole loss came on
points in 2021 in Russia against
undefeated Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov
(16-0), and he has since rebounded
with two impressive stoppage wins
last year.
The Bagwazi vs. Sitemela WBF world
Super Featherweight title fight is
the main event of a show promoted by
Scud Missile Promotions.
