Johannesburg – Jinxed fighter Moruti Mthalane, South Africa's longest-reigning and respected champion, was stripped of IBF flyweight title after he pulled out of his mandatory defence against Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng on Saturday.
The shock news was confirmed on Saturday by the 31-year-old's trainer, Nick Durandt, who said the boxer, who has battled to secure fights during his four-year tenure as the IBF champion, would have been “fighting for peanuts in ****kok”.
Ruenroeng, who fought in the Beijing Olympic Games during his amateur career, was unbeaten in 12 bouts as a professional and ranked sixth by the IBF.
