The 14-bout show will be headlined by unbeaten middleweight craftsman Walter Kautondokwa who will take on Argentinian Billi Facundo Godoy in a scheduled 12-rounder.
Unbeaten WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders penciled a masterpiece last weekend in the form of a shutout decision win over dangerous former champion David Lemieux at the Place Bell in Laval, Canada and live on HBO. Saunders (26-0, 12 KOs) was under heavy criticism for defending his belt against mediocre opposition since he secured the World Boxing Organization belt in a close fight against veteran Andy Lee.
Middleweight prospect Walter Kautondokwa successfully defended his WBO Africa belt this past Saturday night at the Windhoek Country Club Resort in Windhoek, Namibia. The hard-hitting Kautondokwa (16-0, 15 KOs) faced Tanzanian Meshack Mwankemwa (17-4-2, 10 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round matchup to discuss who will lead the African continent in the 160-pound division.
Undefeated WBO No. 6 rated middleweight contender Walter Kautondokwa returns to the ring this coming Saturday in his native Windhoek, Namibia. The hard-hitting Kautondokwa (15-0, 14 KOs) will headline a ten-bout card while defending his WBO Africa title against Tanzanian Meshack Mwankemwa (17-3-2, 10 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round matchup at the Windhoek Country Club Resort.
It seemed to be a clear path in front of Billy Joe Saunders, who was scheduled to defend his WBO middleweight championship on Sept 16 in London. Beat Willie Monroe Jr in a twelve round mandatory matchup, take a shower, and sit down with a beer and enjoy Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Alvarez on TV that was about to start a couple of hours later. Whoever the winner is, he would have become the next opponent for the undefeated Englishman.
Fingers were crossed for undefeated middleweight prospect Walter Kautondokwa and his trainer/manager/promoter Nestor Tobias in the last couple of weeks as the Namibian team were on the run to secure a September world title bout against WBO champ Billy Joe Saunders. The Brit was originally scheduled to face WBO interim titlist Avtandil Khurtsidze before the Georgian fighter’s unexpected incarceration by police last month. Most of the highly ranked contenders by the Puerto Rican-based sanctioning body were not interested in facing Saunders. That gave less celebrated pugilists a chance to gets picked by Billy Joe’s promoter, Frank Warren for the September 16 date.
The boxing world is already pumped for arguably the most important real super fight that takes place between Saul Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on September 16 in Las Vegas. The get-go is on for the WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO/Ring/Lineal middleweight titles. The only missing link is the WBO strap that belongs to unbeaten Billy Joe Saunders.
Hard hitting prospect Walter Kautondokwa (15-0, 14 KO’s) successfully defended his WBO Africa title by a fourth round technical knockout on Friday late evening in Ghana. The card was delayed for almost four hours due to heavy rainfalls at the opened Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
