CELEBRATED SMASH MAKES HISTORY ON AUGUST 30

▪️The renowned pro boxer becomes the first female South African to fight for WBC Africa title

 

Rated number one in Africa by Boxrec, reigning South African female flyweight champion Simangele ‘Smash’ Hadebe will lace her gloves yet again next month when she comes up against unbeaten Nigerian boxer Olamiposi Kehinde Solomon.

Hadebe and Solomon have committed themselves to fighting for the World Boxing Council (WBC) Africa female flyweight title in Johannesburg on Saturday, 30 August.

“Smash is fighting on the 30th of August. She’s the first female in South Africa to be fighting for the WBC Africa title,” Hadebe manager Colleen McAusland said.

Hadebe last fought when she lost to Mexican boxer Gabriela ‘La Bonita’ Sanchez Saveedra in a WBC Silver female flyweight title fight in Mexico three months ago and that was her first loss in just over six years.

Before that fight, Hadebe hadn’t lost since she was beaten by Armenian opponent Sofia Abramyan at Koston Club, Russia, in February 2019.

On the other hand, Solomon, who is rated number two by Boxrec, has not fought since her win over Busola Obi in December last year. The 21-year-old Solomon is yet to lose having won seven fights with four of those wins coming from knockouts and she also registered a draw.
