On March 30 of this year South
African David Rajuli won the
vacant World Boxing Federation
(WBF) All Africa lightweight
title when he scored a majority
decision victory over Tanzanian
co-challenger Jonas Segu in Cape
Town.
That fight was so close and
entertaining, that a highly
anticipated rematch has been set
for Friday September 28 at the
Castle of Good Hope in Cape
Town, promoted by Kalakoda
Promotions and televised live by
Kwesé Sports.
Making his first defense of the
WBF All Africa title, Rajuili
will be looking to further
improve on his misleading 11-8-1
(3) record. Also a former WBF
International Super
Featherweight Champion, the
29-year-old from Gauteng is much
better than those mediocre
statistics suggest.
Since losing to Rajuili, Jonas
“Black Mamba” Segu (27) has
fought once, stopping Malawian
Yohane Banda in four rounds in
Johannesburg this past May,
moving his ledger to 18-8-2 (6).
Based in South Africa since
early 2017, he feels confident
that this time victory will be
his.
Also featured on the card,
billed as “Kings Of The Castle”,
will be World Boxing Federation
(WBF) All Africa Light
Heavyweight Champion Nicholas
Radley, 6-0 (6), fighting for
the vacant South African
national title against Khayeni
Hlungwane.
