What happened

KuGompo City’s Hlumelo Gingxana became the new International Boxing Organisation (IBO) Africa lightweight champion when he defeated Mbuyiseli Ndukwana of Knysna at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.

Why it matters

Claim 4: “Fighting each other for the second time, Eastern Cape lightweight champion Gingxana came into the ring unbeaten in six fights with one stalemate while Western Cape champion Ndukwana had six wins and four losses in 10 professional fights.”
