Someone's O had to go, as the
saying goes, when World Boxing
Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Super
Welterweight Champion Emmany
Kalombo put his title on the
line against fellow unbeaten
Samuel Antwi at the
International Convention Centre
in Harare, Zimbabwe on Friday,
July 13.
In one of the featured bouts of
Kalakoda Promotions UK vs.
Africa card televised by Kwesé
Sports, South Africa-based
Congolese Kalombo had little
trouble with London-fighter
Antwi, and retained his title
for the first time with
surprising ease.
Nicknamed “The General”, Kalombo
took control of the fight from
the first second of the first
round, and landed almost at will
before overwhelming Antwi in
round two, hurting him with a
barrage of punches and forcing
referee Darryl Ribbink to wave
it off at 1:35 of the stanza.
Having won the WBF title last
March with an electrifying fifth
round stoppage of South African
Champion Nkululeko Mhlongo, the
impressive victory over Antwi
brought Kalombo´s professional
record to 10-0 (10), while Antwi
drops to 7-1 (4).
Following the fight, Kalombo
called out WBF World Super
Welterweight Champion Rafael
Bejaran, 25-2-1 (11), from the
Dominican Republic, and with his
current form he can not be
written off should that
encounter come to fruition.
