Elvis Moyo, 6-5-2 (3), from
Zimbabwe is set to make the
first title defense of his
second reign as World Boxing
Federration (WBF) All Africa
Heavyweight Champion, when he
takes on South Africa-based
Congolese Knife Didier, 6-2 (5),
on January 26 at the City Sports
Centre in Harare.
“The
Bulawayo Bomber” first won the
WBF title in November of 2013,
but never defended it as he went
after a career in MMA instead of
boxing. He returned to the ring
last July, and recaptured the
All Africa crown the following
month with a fourth round
stoppage of Kenyan Bernard Adie.
“These
are the African Heavyweight
match-ups people want to see,”
said Moyo. “I had no time off
over Christmas and New Year, I
have been in the gym and I
guarantee a victory by
Knockout.”
“I
am going to entertain my home
fans. Fighting at home is very
special, and I cannot wait to
just get in there and throw some
leather.”
The Co-Feature of the show will
be a clash for the vacant WBF
All Africa Bantamweight title
between local man Tapiwa Tembo,
8-5-1 (5), and Tanzanian Swedi
Mohamed, 12-4-2 (3). WBF
President Howard Goldberg is
looking forward to an exciting
evening of fights, saying:
“These
are two wonderful fights, and I
expect nothing but action in
both. Especially Moyo vs. Didier
is going to be a bloody war, and
both of them have actually told
me that they intend to end the
other man´s career. It should be
very explosive.”
Promoted by Kalakoda Promotions,
the show has been labelled “New
Dawn” and will be broadcast live
on Kwese Sports, KS 1 and Soweto
TV 251. Internationally fans
will be able to watch streams on
Unilad and Facebook Live.
