World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Bantamweight
champion Akani Sambu will make his
second title-defense on June 27 at
the Khoroni Hotel Casino in
Thohoyandou, South Africa.
Sambu, 6-1-1 (3), will face fellow
South African, and former WBF
titlist, Sabelo Cebekhulu, 7-1 (3),
in the headlining fight of a show
billed as “Survival of the Fittest”,
staged by Mama Rocks Boxing
Promotions.
Having won the title in October of
2023, beating Joshua Studdard, Sambu
made his maiden defense almost
exactly a year later by fending off
the game challenge of Tanzanian John
Chuwa.
Cebekhulu became WBF International
champion in December of 2022 when he
stopped Mawande Matroos in two
rounds.
In his most recent outing he came up
short in a challenge for the WBA Pan
Africa title, and he is now
determined to bounce back in style
by dethroning Sambu.
On paper this looks like a
fifty-fifty fight, and could
literally come down to who is
fittest on the night. Survival of
the Fittest, Sambu or Cebekhulu?
