WBF All Africa Heavyweight Champion Crowned

On Saturday, May 7, at the Studio Maman Angebi in Kinshasa, D. R. Congo, undefeated local Heavyweight Issa Kayembe captured the vacant World Boxing Federation (WBF) All Africa title.

With a lively crowd cheering him on, Kayembe defeated co-challenger Vincent Muziri from Zimbabwe in convincing fashion.

Kayembe got off to a relatively slow start, but picked up the pace and his output significantly in round three, before eventually getting the stoppage in round five.

At that point Kayembe was dominating to a point where Muziri was not able to defend himself, and referee David Van Niewenhuizen from South Africa had seen enough.

Kayembe improved his professional record to 6-0 (4), while Muziri falls to 7-4 (4).

The fight was promoted by Adolph Katende and his V. Club Promotion.
