Undefeated World Boxing
Federation (WBF) All Africa
Featherweight Champion Thembani
“Baby Jake” Mbangatha, 9-0 (4),
from South Africa is in for what
is, without exaggeration, a true
acid test in his next outing.
And he is, reportedly, more than
ready for it!
On Friday February 22, at the
Wynberg Military Base in Cape
Town, Mbangatha will make the
first defense of his title
against the much more
experienced former South African
national, WBF All Africa and WBF
Intercontinental titlist Doctor
Ntsele, 22-11-1 (14).
While the reigning champion has
less than five years in the
professional game, Ntsele has
been a prize-fighter for almost
fourteen years and boxed 231
rounds in 34 bouts, compared to
Mbangatha´s 39 rounds of action
in 9 outings.
Mbangatha, who outside of boxing
works as a police officer in
Cape Town, won the WBF All
Africa title in November of
2017, boxing the last three
rounds of the fight with a
dislocated shoulder. He only
returned to action last July in
a non-title bout, but now he is
ready to defend his crown
against Ntsele.
“Battle
Ready”, a card staged by
Kalakoda Promotions, will be
televised live by Kwesé Sports.
The undercard will feature WBF
All Africa Light Heavyweight
Champion Nicolas Radley and WBF
All Africa Welterweight Champion
Antonio Mayala in non-title
fights.
