South Africa vs. Tanzania match-ups will decide two vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental titles on February 17 in Escort, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
At Super Bantamweight, undefeated puncher Mxolisi Zuma, 6-0 (6), is heading into his biggest test to date as he faces the experienced Ally Mwerangi, 13-7 (9).
Zuma won the WBF International title last August with a first round demolition of fellow countryman Awonke Tini, and is now looking to add a second WBF belt to his resume.
Mwerangi has boxed in the UK, Russia and Mexico, besides his native Tanzania, so will have no issues going abroad for the opportunity to become WBF champion.
In the co-featured bout, Nkosingiphile Sibisi, 6-0 (2), will also be stepping up in class, facing Ramadhan Pido, 11-2-2 (2), for the vacant title at Flyweight.
For both men it is an opportunity to win their first significant title in the professional ranks.
