Germany’s Deniz Ilbay and Oscar Chauke from South Africa went into the lions den and prevailed on Saturday night, June 25, when they defeated local favorites to win World Boxing Federation (WBF) titles at the Indoor Sport Complex in Walvis Bay, Namibia.

21-year-old Ilbay from Cologne captured the vacant WBF World Welterweight title by split decision after twelve rounds against Bethuel Ushona (34), and improved his professional record to 16-1 (8). The local man, a pro since 2002, drops to 34-5-1 (9).

Judges Jean-Marcel Nartz of Germany and Aubrey Rassie Erasmus of South Africa scored the fight 115-113 and 117-111 for the visitor, while Ricky Tshabalala from Namibia had it 118-110 for Ushona. Referee in charge of the action was Timo Haikonda.

Immediately after the fight, promoter Kriata Kamanya lodged a protest of the decision with the WBF, which is currently under review.

Experienced and battle-tested Oscar “Golden Boy” Chauke, now 35-11-3 (11), took home the vacant WBF Intercontinental Super Featherweight crown, as he floored Abraham Ndauendapo, 14-3 (4), in the ninth round en-route to a split verdict.

Scores were 115-112 (Timo Haikonda) and 114-113 (Jean-Marcel Nartz) for Chauke, and 117-112 (Aubrey Rassie Erasmus) for Ndauendapo. Referee was Ricky Tshabalala.

Labeled as the Harambee Coastal Boxing Bonanza, the Ushona vs. Ilbay and Ndauendapo vs. Chauke World Boxing Federation (WBF) championship double-header was the two main attractions of a fine show promoted by Salute Boxing Academy.
