Two World Boxing Federation
(WBF) championships will be up
for grabs when up-and-coming
promoter Nicolas Vinet opens the
doors for a stacked night of
professional boxing at the Hall
Omnisport in Rebecq, Belgium on
Sunday September 11.
In a fight that promises to
deliver fireworks, reigning
Belgian national champion Cedric
Tita, a hard-hitting 35-year-old
Southpaw from Liege, will take
on Polish-based Ukrainian banger
Mykola Vovk for the vacant WBF
Intercontinental Welterweight
title.
A pro since 2004, Tita has blown
hot and cold in the past and
brings a somewhat misleading
8-8-1 (5) ledger, while Vovk
(25) has only been punching for
pay for little over year, but
has been very active in building
a fine 10-1 (7) record.
The co-featured attraction,
another interesting and
evenly-matched encounter, sees
Matingu “Zulu King” Kindele (31)
squaring off with Evariste
Kabongo (32) from D.R. Congo,
with the vacant WBF
International Super Middleweight
title on the line.
Kindele, who won the Belgian
national Super Middleweight
title last year, is 7-5 (3) in
the professional ranks having
lost to only good opposition.
Kabongo is 9-8-3 (1) against
equally tough foes, and has
previously fought eight times in
Belgium, where he is now based,
since 2008.
Tita and Kindele may be
considered the home-favourites,
but the matchmaking in these
bouts is such that it could go
either way. Whatever happens,
and whoever comes out on top, it
is almost guaranteed to be an
entertaining night for boxing
fans attending.
