World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Bantamweight Champion Akani Sambu is ready to defend his belt on Friday, October 11, Thaba Moshate Casino in Burgersfort, South Africa.
Sambu, 5-1-1 (3), won the title a year ago when he out-pointed Joshua Suddard, and now he is ready for another tough opponent in John Chuwa from Tanzania.
Chuwa, 23-7 (10), is a former Tanzanian champion, and has a wealth of experience despite being only 26 years old. He is coming off victories in his last two bouts, and is primed for the opportunity.
Sambu is likely the betting favourite due to his home advantage, but Chuwa is more than a live underdog and will be coming to win.
The fight is part of “Tsate International Boxing Tournament”, promoted by Mama Rocks Boxing.
