When the sixth instalment of the
African Pride Fighting
Championship series takes place
on Friday November 3 at Hope
Street Hall in Cape Town, South
Africa, a World Boxing
Federation (WBF) championship
bout will be topping the
twelve-bout card.
Undefeated prospect Nicholas
Radley will step up in class to
take on experienced former
two-division Eastern Cape
Champion, and South African
national title-challenger,
Makhasonge Zwengu for the vacant
WBF All Africa Light Heavyweight
title.
Radley, 4-0 (4), will be jumping
in at the deep end in what is
his first title fight. Three of
his four opponents so far hasn’t
made it out of the first round,
while the fourth adversary was
stopped in the third. Against
Zwengu, over ten rounds, he is
bound to get much more
resistance.
Makhasonge Zwengu is 10-13 (5)
since turning professional in
2006. Unlike Radley, he has
fought at championship level
several times, winning the
Eastern Cape title in 2013 at
Middleweight, and the Light
Heavyweight version the
following year.
The exciting undercard includes
another ten-rounder at
Featherweight, with the Western
Cape title on the line, and
Zimbabwean WBF All Africa
Cruiserweight champion
Chamunorwa “Sting” Gonorenda in
a non title fight against
Tshanda Nagula from D.R. Congo.
