A highly interesting all-South
African clash is set for March
29 at Nongosa Jebe Hall in New
Brighton, Port Elizabeth, when
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Featherweight
Champion Unathi Myekeni defends
her title against Nozipho Bell.
It will be the first defense for
Myekeni, 11-4-1 (5), who is also
a former WBF World Super
Bantamweight ruler, as she has
been unable to fight since
winning the title against
another compatriot, Asandiswa
Nxokwana, in September of 2017.
Bell, 8-2-1 (3), the South
African national champion at
Super Featherweight, is coming
off a spirited challenge for the
WBO World title at that weight
against Ewa Brodnicka (15-0) in
Poland, losing a fairly close
decision. Moving down in weight,
she is hoping her second crack
at world glory will be
successful.
Promoted by 2015 World Boxing
Federation (WBF) Promoter of the
Year Mbali Zantsi and her
Showtime Boxing Promotions, in
conjunction with Nelson Mandela
Bay Municipality, the fight will
headline a card titled “Women in
Boxing”.
