Executioner itching to fight again
Namibian middleweight boxer Walter 'The Executioner' Kautondokwa has a 10-round fight set for 10 May against Simeon Tcheta from Malawi in Harare, Zimbabwe.
Kautondokwa's much-anticipated return to the ring in a non-title Independence Legacy Fight Part 2 was cancelled at short notice after his opponent, Jacob Maganga from Tanzania, failed the medical examination.
Kautondokwa is a former World Boxing Organisation (WBO) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) Africa middleweight champion and has 18 fights with 16 knockouts and one loss.
His opponent, Tcheta, has a record of 12 fights, nine wins, two losses and a draw.
“I'm happy to have a new fight confirmed so quickly after the last setback. I know so many fans came out to see my return to the ring but it was not to be.
“I'm facing Tcheta away from home and I quickly need to shift my focus and attention to this fight,” Kautondokwa said.
His promoter, Nestor Tobias from MTC Nestor 'Sunshine' Tobias Academy, said the boxer was ready and they would show what they are made of.
Kautondokwa last fought in October last year after seizing the opportunity as a late replacement to battle Demetrius Andrade of America for the vacant WBO middleweight title in Boston. The Namibian lost the WBO middleweight title.
Tcheta last fought in March, knocking out Lewis Nkhata.
