Superstar Molefe not underestimating tough Ziqula

Matima Molefe is considered one of the brightest up and coming superstars in South African boxing. Having chalked up a record of 9-1 with 6 KOs, including a victory over the current South African featherweight champion Subelo Jubatha, Molefe is an angry man at present. 

His anger is that his proposed World Boxing Federation world featherweight title aspirations had to be put on hold when Ghanaian opponent Osubama Akaba pulled out of the fight with an alleged injury. Instead of pulling Molefe out of the show scheduled for Port Elizabeth, South Africa on 21 May, promoter of the year in South Africa Siphato Handi decided to rope in the dangerous and underrated Siabuleo Ziqula to face Molefe for a changed WBFed All Africa title.

Ziqula has a patchy record of 8-7 but has never been stopped and has been in with no fewer than four South African champions. Ziqula can fight and views this as an opportunity to gatecrash into the world ratings.  Molefe will need to be more focused than ever before and to ensure his outstanding talents prevail in the ring, otherwise he might be in for a torrid night.

Should Molefe win, he has been assured of a WBFed world title shot in August, and can prove in this fight that he has all the credentials of becoming a superstar. World Boxing Federation President Howard Goldberg, who knows both fighters and who will be present at the show, expects an all out war and has warned Molefe to underestimate Ziqula at his own risk: 

'Molefe is a potential superstar, but he needs to beware big time of the dangerous Ziqula.  Ziqula can fight!'
