Nozipho Bell, the former World
Boxing Federation (WBF) world
Featherweight champion, returns on
April 28 in Gqeberha, South Africa,
fighting for the vacant WBF
Intercontinental Light Welterweight
title.
Bell, 15-5-1 (5), will take on
experienced Namibian-born Zimbabwean
Chiedza Homakoma, 8-9-3 (4) on a
show staged by Mbali Zantsi.
36-year-old Bell has been a top
contender for most of her career,
and besides winning the WBF world
title in 2019 she has also
challenged for WBO and IBO world
titles abroad.
Also a former South African national
champion and IBF Intercontinental
titlist at Super Featherweight, she
has now decided to move to Light
Welter in pursuit of eventually
becoming a world champion again.
“The
Queen Tiger” Homakoma (32) always
comes to fight, and after facing
some of the best boxers Africa has
to offer, she is motivated to upset
the favourite.
Beating a former world champion and
established name such as Bell would
be a major breakthrough for her
career, while Bell cant afford to
lose if she is to regain former
glory.
