Undefeated Dutchman Willy Kyakonye
will take on Venezuelan Wilmer
Vasquez for the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) world Heavyweight
title on March 29.
The potentially explosive affair
headlines The Evolution of Boxing XI
at the Sporthal de Willisstee in
Wilnis, Netherlands.
Uganda-born Kyakonye, 10-0 (9), is
the current WBF International
champion, having won that title at
the same venue almost exactly a year
prior to going for world honours.
In Vasquez, 13-3-2 (8), he is facing
his most dangerous opponent to date,
and a man who travels to his
opponents backyard full of
confidence.
Vasquez last boxed in July of 2024,
where he scored a split decision
over 12-0 Mexican Ubaldo Ilagor
Resendiz in Caracas, and he is now
aiming to continue that momentum by
becoming WBF world champion.
Kyakonye has a significant advantage
in punching-power and fighting on
home soil, but Vasquez has by far
faced and defeated the better
opposition and will not be
intimidated by what the home-man
brings.
