Danny Boy outclasses Segu
Swakopmund produced electric boxing bouts on Saturday, with Namibia's boxer coming out victorious.
Namibian boxer, Albinius 'Danny Boy' Felisianu beat his Tanzanian opponent Yonas Segu in a title fight on Friday at the Dome's Indoor Sports Centre in Swakopmund.
After 12 rounds of boxing in front of hundreds of boxing lovers, Danny Boy claimed the victory on unanimous points.
The comprehensive victory earned the boxer the IBF (International Boxing Federation) Africa junior lightweight title.
During the fight, Danny Boy didn't show any signs of pressure and was in no mood to disappoint his local fans. He dominated every round from the onset and outclassed Segu with a variety of facial and body blows which handed him the victory on the scorecard.
The hard-hitting boxer who is trained by Albertus Tsamaseb extended his record to 17 wins from 20 fights. From the 17 wins, he has recorded seven knock outs. He has only suffered two defeats and drawn one bout.
After the fight he attributed the victory to the long hard hours he spent in the gym to prepare for the bout.
Danny Boy called on boxing promoters to organise high-profile fights in the near future saying that he is ready to fight the elite in the boxing fraternity after his master class performance at the Dome.
He dedicated the fight to his biggest supporter Dantago Gurirab.
Another boxer who is part of the Albertus Tsamaseb Boxing Club, Abraham Ndauendapo also claimed a unanimous decision victory.
The win came in a 10-round curtain raiser to the main fight as Ndauendapo defeated South African Nkosinathi Ntshangase to claim the vacant WBF (World Boxing Federation) African super featherweight title.
Ndauendapo's impeccable footwork and collection of punches was too much for Ntshangase to handle.
The boxing bonanza which was dubbed as Desert Storm was held under the Kwezi Friday Fight Night series. The series featured eight fights in total and included boxers from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Cameroon, South Africa, Tanzania and DRC.
