The vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental Light Flyweight
title will be on the line when
compatriots Mfundo Gwayana and
Thabiso Moorosi clash on Monday
December 16 on a show promoted
by Xaba Promotions in East
London, South Africa.
Southpaw Gwayana (29) brings a
professional record of 17-6-3
(9), and is the reigning South
African national champion. He
turned pro at only 15 in 1999,
and lost two challenges for the
S.A. championship in 2005 and
2007 before finally winning the
crown in November 2007.
After four successful defenses
he lost the title in 2010, but
regained it in his latest
outing, this past October, when
he defeated Bongani Silila by
technical decision. Going for
the WBF title will be his first
crack at title above domestic
level.
Against Moorosi, 7-3-2 (5),
Gwayana will be the favorite
going in, but the 26-year old
from Fiksburg has shown good
form lately and is undefeated
since January 2010. Styles make
fights, and the shows promoter
is expecting an action-packed
affair between two hungry and
determined fighters.
Also on the card will be a WBF
Intercontinental championship
fight at Bantamweight, with
local man Onela Quongwana (10-1,
5 KOs) going for the vacant
title against an opponent still
to be confirmed.
