When they fought last March the
fight was thrilling and many
felt Tanzanian Jonas “Black
Mamba” Segu was unlucky to lose
a majority decision to South
Africa´s David Rajuili for the
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
All Africa Lightweight title.
The rematch, on Friday September
28 at the Castle of Good Hope in
Cape Town, South Africa, was
equally exciting but this time
the work-rate and accuracy of
Segu made it a relatively easy
fight to score, and he emerged a
clear winner by unanimous
decision.
After ten highly entertaining
rounds, judges Fred Van der
Ross, Eddie Marshall and
Clifford Mbelo were in complete
agreement, all scoring the fight
98-92 for the new champion.
Referee in charge of the action
was Elroy Marchall.
Jonas Segu (27) improved his
professional record to 19-8-2
(6), while Rajuili (29), also a
former WBF International Super
Featherweight Champion falls to
11-9-1 (3). Now 1-1 after two
excellent fights, a rubber match
should not be out of the
question.
The fight headlined a show
billed as “Kings Of The Castle”,
staged by one of South Africa´s
leading promotional outfits
Kalakoda Promotions.
