Last December, a fight between Selemani Kidunda and Erick Katompa ended in a technical draw after only four rounds of boxing, due to injury.
That fight was for the World Boxing Federation International Super Middleweight title, but now they will rematch on July 30 in Songea, Tanzania with the vacant WBF Intercontinental title at stake.
Undefeated Kidunda is 7-0-1 (7) since turning pro three years ago, and the reining Tanzanian national champion.
Katompa, from Kinshasa, D. R. Congo, enters the fight at 13-1-1 (5). This will be his third fight in Tanzania, having beat former WBF titlist Abdallah Paziwapazi prior to his first encounter with Kidunda.
Kidunda (38) has proven he has the power to hurt most foes, but Katompa (32) is probably the best opponent he has faced so far, and both will be looking to end what was started last year.
The fight, staged at the Majimaji Stadium, headlines a huge card promoted by Peak Time Promotions, with currently nineteen bouts scheduled for the undercard.
