Compatriots Bonginkosi Nhlapo and Nelson Mbhele will fight for the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) All Africa Light Heavyweight title on June 7 at Event City in Middelburg, South Africa.
After a difficult start to their pro campaigns, this is a big opportunity for both boxers to get their careers on track by becoming WBF champion.
Nhlapo is 3-2-1 (1) since turning pro in 2023, but both his defeats were disputed split decisions and could easily have gone his way.
Mbhele, a pro since 2021, brings a 5-4 (2) ledger and will also be hungry and determined to show that he is better than those statistics suggest.
While not a clash of promising prospects on paper, this should be a very entertaining match-up between two boxers who are ready to put everything on the line to prevail.
