World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Super Welterweight
Champion Noni Tenge makes her
first title-defense on Friday,
September 8, at the Kagiso
Memorial and Recreation Centre
in Johannesburg, South Africa when
she takes on compatriot Mapule
Ngubane.
Tenge, 17-1-1 (10), also a
former undefeated WBF, IBF and
WBA World Champion at
Welterweight, won the title in
March of 2016 but was then
sidelined for a year before she
returned with a non-title
victory against the tough Esther
Matshiya last March.
From Johannesburg, Mapule
Ngubane turned professional in
2010 and after a few set-backs
she won the South African
Middleweight title in 2014. Her
record stands at a rather modest
6-4-3 (1), but she is undefeated
in her last four outings and
focused on making the most on
this long-awaited opportunity.
Also on the show, former WBF
Womens World Super Bantamweight
Champion Unathi Myekeni, 10-4-1
(4), will attempt to become a
two-weight World Champion when
she goes for the vacant WBF
World Featherweight crown
against undefeated Malawian Ruth
Chisale.
20-year-old “Black Chocolate”
Chisale, 9-0 (5), is considered
one of the most promising female
fighters in Africa, and has
proved her worth fighting well
above what is probably her best
fighting-weight, mostly at
Lightweight and Light
Welterweight.
Only this past June she
travelled to Switzerland where
she convincingly beat reigning
European Welterweight Champion
Ornella Domini, 10-0 at the
time, winning every round on all
judges cards. She intends to do
exactly the same against
Myekeni, and upset the
apple-cart once more.
Billed as “Women Only”, the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
World Championship double-header
is promoted by 2015 WBF Promoter
Of The Year Mbali Zantsi.
