Two World Boxing Federation (WBF)
championship fights headlined a show
promoted by another WBF champion,
World Middleweight titlist Charles
Manyushi, on Friday night, July 28,
at Chivhu Lodge in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Local WBF International Lightweight
champion Evans Husayihwevhu made his
first defense of the title he won
last Summer, but was upset by
underdog Malawian challenger Israel
Kammwamba.
Husayihwevhu was dropped in the
second round and thoroughly
dominated throughout the entire
fight, as the very underrated
Kammwamba was excellent and likely
fought the fight of his life.
Judges Reinforcement Matasva,
Virimayi Mandaza and Kingston
Jakonya scored the fight 98-91,
97-92 and 96-93 for Kammwamba, who
improved his professional record to
13-10-1 (8). Husayihwevhu drops to
14-2 (7).
In the co-feature Tinashe Mwadziwana
beat Yobe Kamnyonya, also from
Malawi, to lift the vacant WBF All
Africa Super Featherweight crown.
Mwadziwana was simply too big and
strong, and referee Patrick Mkondiwa
had seen enough already in round two
as he waved things off to prevent
further punishment.
Mwadziwana is now 18-14 (11) since
turning pro in 2006. Kamnyonya falls
to 9-9 (1).
