On Friday August 3 at the Dome
in Swakupmond, Namibia, and
televised live by Kwesé Sports,
Kalakoda Promotions presents
“Desert Rumble 3”, with two
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Championship fights topping the
bill.
WBF All Africa Super
Featherweight Champion, and
local hero, Abraham “Energy”
Ndauendapo, 17-6 (5), returns to
the venue where he won the title
almost exactly a year ago,
putting it on the line against
Bilindo Eseko, 9-2 (2) from D.
R. Congo.
Ndauendapo is coming off a very
game challenge for the vacant
WBF World Lightweight title,
losing a close decision to
unbeaten South African Xolisani
Ndongeni this past April, and
will be looking to return to
winning ways in style.
At Middleweight, with the vacant
WBF Intercontinental title at
stake, Lukas “The Demolisher”
Ndafoluma, 11-1 (3), is set to
take on Jimmy “The Beast”
Mabundji, 9-3 (7), in what could
turn out to be a genuine
take-no-prisoners type of brawl.
Namibian Ndafoluma won the IBO
All Africa title in June of last
year against South African
Barend van Rooyen (24-4-1), and
is coming off a huge victory in
Manchester, England where he
defeated Craig Cunningham (19-1)
in his most recent outing this
past November.
Originally from D. R. Congo but
based and fighting out of Cape
Town, South Africa his entire
career, Jimmy Mabundji won the
WBF All Africa Super
Middleweight title in June of
2017 with a stunning first-round
knockout of compatriot Dido
Mukanja.
Middleweight being his natural
weight, he is now coming back
down a division to take on
arguably the best opponent of
his career. Mabundji stayed busy
with a stoppage victory on June
29 in Cape Town, and is
reportedly brimming with
confidence before this big
challenge.
