On Sunday June 16 at the Orient
Theatre in East London, South
Africa, reigning South African
Champion Mzolisi Yoyo added the
World Boxing Federation
Intercontinental Light
Welterweight title to his resume
by completely annihilating
fellow countryman Luyanda Jako.
This was a rematch of their 2008
encounter, which Yoyo won in
five rounds, and Jako would fare
no better this time despite
longing for revenge and
proclaiming that things would be
different the second time
around.
The hard-hitting Yoyo started
the bout fast, and knocked his
opponent down midway through the
first round. In the second, he
continued to punish Jako badly,
and it was no big surprise that
the battered Southpaw from
Tembisa didn’t come out for
round three.
Mzolisi Yoyo improved his
professional record to 21-4
(16), while Luyanda Jako dropped
to 9-7-1 (4).
The new WBF Intercontinental
Champion boldly announced after
the fight that he has WBF World
Champion Zolani Marali in his
sights. Both are from the same
town, Mdantsane, and it would be
a huge local event.
Promoter of the fight was Ayanda
Matiti. |
