NAMIBIA HOSTS WBO GLOBAL TITLE FIGHT TONIGHT
▪️Boosted by home crowd support Energy aims to end unbeaten record of South Africa’s Zuma
South Africa’s Mxolisi Zuma puts his 10-fight unbeaten run at stake tonight (August 9) when he takes on Namibia’s punching machine Fillipus “Energy” Nghitumbwa at the Windhoek Country Club Resort and Casino.
At stake is the WBO Global super-bantamweight title in this 10 rounder dubbed Road to World Title.
“It’s themed Road to World Title as both boxers are world class fighters highly ranked by WBO with outstanding records,” said Namibia’s top promoter Nestor Tobias who is also the director of MTC Nestor Sunshine Boxing Academy which has a proud history of hosting world class events.
Energy (16-2-0, 14 KOs) is relying on home crowd support to win the WBO title as well as ending Zuma’s (10-0-0) incredible unbeaten streak in 10 fights all won via knockout.
Since his controversial points loss to former two-time world champion John Riel Casimero (34-4-1 23 KOs) of the Philippines, Energy has impressively fought his way unbeaten through four fights two of victories against reputed opponents, WBO top-15 rated DeKang Wang of China and former world champion Yukonori Oguni whom he KO’d in round one in front of his home fans in Japan.
Against the hard-hitting Zuma, Energy will have to fight cautiously to avoid a humiliating defeat at home.
