Nigerian Tony Salam vows to
punish World Boxing Federation
(WBF) All Africa Cruiserweight
Champion Chamunorwa “Sting”
Gonorenda from Zimbabwe when
they meet in a rematch on
October 26 at the Federal Palace
in Lagos.
Gonorenda, 12-12 (7), won their
first fight, on August 31 in
Zimbabwe, by hotly disputed
split decision, and this time
Salam, 11-2 (6), will have the
home-court advantage when he
gets a second chance to show he
is the better man and deserves
to be the WBF All Africa
title-holder.
“I
clearly won the first fight”,
Salam recently told Kwesé ESPN.
“Gonorenda knows it, the
Zimbabwean crowd knows it, and
the millions who watched on TV
across Africa knows it.”
“It
is now personal. Gonorenda is
going to pay, and this injustice
will finally be resolved. I am
not risking letting the judges
decide my faith again, Gonorenda
is being put to sleep.”
“Chaos
in Lagos” will be promoted by
Kalakoda Promotions, and
broadcast to more than fifty
million potential viewers by
Kwesé Sports as well as various
sublicense agreements across the
Africa continent. A live stream
will also be available on
YouTube.
