A packed Rainbow Towers
Conference Centre in Harare,
Zimbabwe set the stage for a
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
championship double-header
billed as Harare´Geddon,
promoted by Steve Kalakoda´s
Kalakoda Promotions on Friday
night, August 25.
In the main event, local
Heavyweight-hero Elvis “The
Bulawayo Bomber” Moyo regained
the WBF All Africa Heavyweight
title when he pummelled lanky
Kenyan Bernard Adie for three
rounds before the fight was
stopped in the fourth stanza
when referee Eddie Marshal from
South Africa had seen enough.
Moyo, who improved his record to
6-5-2 (3), first won the title
back in 2013 but never defended
his belt as he turned his
attention to MMA. He returned to
the boxing ring less than a
month ago with a victory in
Namibia, and against Adie, who
drops to 15-6 (11), he proved
that he has not lost a step.
In the co-featured bout,
battle-tested Chamunorwa “Sting”
Gonorenda resurrected his career
almost eleven years after he won
the Zimbabwean national title,
by stopping Tanzania´s Kaminja
Ramadhan with a big left hand in
the first round to lift the
vacant WBF All Africa
Cruiserweight title.
33-year-old Gonorenda improved
his record to 9-12 (6), but
those statistics are very
misleading. Six of his losses
reportedly came after he
accepted fights on less than a
weeks notice. Ramadhan,
undefeated in his previous nine
fights, falls to 11-8-1 (4).
