World Boxing Federation (WBF) All
Africa Welterweight champion Wassim
Chellan is ready to take his next
step when he fights for the vacant
WBF International title on October
13.
At Goodwood Correctional Centre in
Cape Town, South Africa, the 7-0 (3)
local favourite will face Malawian
Denis Mwale, 9-5 (4), on a card
staged by Jackie Brice Boxing
Promotions.
Tipped to be a future star, Chellan
last boxed in March when he captured
the WBF All Africa title with a
unanimous decision over the tough
Lybon Ntshani.
In Mwale he will face another rugged
foe, who brings an edge in
experience and has proven himself a
durable and game fighter in the
past.
Mwale challenged for the WBF
Intercontinental Lightweight title
in 2021, losing by decision after a
spirited effort against Ibrahim
Class Mgender in Tanzania.
For Chellan it is a significant test
at this stage of his career, and for
Mwale it is a chance to get his
career firmly back on track.
