Zimbabwean Elvis Moyo, 7-5-2 (3), returned to boxing last July, after a four-year hiatus where he competed in Mixed Martial Arts.
Scoring a routine victory in his first fight back, he regained the WBF All Africa Heavyweight title in August, a championship he also held in 2013 when he temporarily retired.
On January 26 he made the first defense of his second reign, winning a unanimous decision over South Africa-based Congolese Knife Didier, in what was a real back-and-forth brawl.
This makes him the first WBF All Africa Champion to receive WBF Boxer of the Month honors.
