▪️The unbeaten South African top prospect meets Polish opponent in March
January 13, 2026
South Africa’s Simamkele Tutsheni (pictured), the IBO All Africa champion, skipped festive celebrations to prepare for her IBO WORLD TITLE challenge against unbeaten Laura Grzyb of Poland on March 28, 2025.
The Langa-based 24-year-old spent most of the holidays in the gym, sharpening for what is described as the biggest test of her professional career so far.
Tutsheni enters the bout with an 8-0 record, including three stoppages, while Grzyb brings an 11-0 ledger, also with three stoppages, setting up an unbeaten-vs-unbeaten clash. Her last fight, a win over Caleigh Swart for the IBO All Africa title, drew strong praise locally, and this March assignment will be her first outing under MATT LEISCHING’s ML BOXING stable after being named Prospect of the Year by the SOWETAN.
