On Saturday October 28 the
vacant World Boxing Federation
(WBF) All Africa Super
Bantamweight championship is on
the line, when Team Dida
presents “Rumble In The Ghetto”
at Kagiso Memorial & Recreation
Centre in Kagiso township,
approximately thirty kilometres
west of South Africa´s largest
city Johannesburg.
Squaring off for the title will
be reigning Gauteng Champion
Thato “Captain Charisma”
Bonokoane, bringing a record of
5-1-2 (3), and former South
African national
title-challenger Luthando
Mbumbulwana, who is 9-4 (7)
since turning professional in
2010.
Bonokoane will return to the
venue where he won the Gauteng
title in his most recent fight,
on July 29, scoring a majority
ten-round decision over tough
competitor Bongani Bhuti. To win
the WBF All Africa crown, he
should expect another grinding
affair on October 28.
Luthando Mbumbulwana has mixed
in superior opposition compared
to Bonokoane, and won his first
seven bouts in convincing
fashion before losing a
unanimous decision to South
African titlist Siviwe Hashene
in April of 2014. He has not
been very active since, but won
his last outing by stunning
second round knockout.
For Bonokoane this fight is a
chance to continue his current
momentum, and for Mbumbulwana it
is a welcomed opportunity to get
his career back on track after
more than a year of inactivity.
Both have expressed their
intentions to not let themselves
down, and it is almost surely
going to be an entertaining
scrap.
