The Gallery, Johannesburg, South Africa. In the main bout of the evening, the local flyweight contender (up to 50.8 kg) Jackson Chauke (21-1-2, 15 KOs) inflicted debut defeat
Mustafa Mkupasi (9-1, 7 KOs) from Tanzania and became the ABU African Champion.
In the 3rd round, Chauke dropped his opponent with a hard left uppercut. He got to his feet not without problems, but fell under the bombardment of the opponent, which forced the referee to intervene and stop the fight.
Chauke TKO 3.
As part of the show, lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) from South Africa Xolisani Endongheni (30-2, 17 KOs) beat Philippine gatekeeper
Raymond Yanonga (11-7-1, 9 KOs).
The local favorite started the fight aggressively, but soon realized that it would not be possible to delay the opponent and brought the fight to a confident victory by the decision of the judges: 97-93, 99-91 and 100-90.
Endongheni UD 10.
In the bantamweight limit (up to 53.5 kg) there was a small upset: local prospect Mzuvukile Magwaka (21-1-3, 12 KOs) suffered his debut defeat in his career – lost to his compatriot
Sabelo Ngebinyane (15-5, 11 KOs).
The winner was lucky, as the favorite either entered the fight with an injury, or received it during the fight – Magvak was very worried about his knee. Ngebinyana reacted by relying on constant shifts and maneuvers: he boxed from a distance, combined.
The favorite had a good moment in the 7th round – he shook Ngebinyana, but failed to finish. The fight was competitive. We believe a revenge would be very appropriate.
The score of the judges: 78-74, 78-74 and 77-75 in favor of the underdog.
Ngebinyana UD 8.
