Kautondokwa set for title defence
Walter 'The Executioner' Kautondokwa will defend his WBO Africa middleweight title at the Windhoek Country Club Resort on 21 October.
The undefeated Kautondokwa, who has an impressive 93% knockout record after 15 fights, will defend his WBO Africa title for a record fifth time when he steps into the ring with Meschack Mwankemwa of Tanzania.
Kautondokwa recently impressed with a TKO win when he defeated WBO Africa Interim champion Obodai Sai in June in Ghana to retain his WBO title and add the vacant IBF Continental Africa title to his trophy cabinet.
He is now ranked seventh by the WBO and is gunning for world supremacy in one of the most competitive weight divisions.
In the main undercard, Namibian welterweight prospect Mike Shonena will make his Africa debut when he fights for the vacant WBO Africa welterweight title for the first time.
Shonena remains undefeated after 10 fights. His opponent has not been confirmed. Promoter Nestor Tobias expressed excitement over the boxing event.
“We just came from a very successful event on 9 September where we treated boxing fans to top-class boxing, and we are inviting them again to another world-class spectacle of Africa's finest boxers involving two legitimate continental titles,” Tobias said. Kautondokwa said he was eager to punish his opponent.
“I am just excited to be stepping into the ring again. I am happy that my world record keeps on improving and my main focus is just to keep winning and getting better.
“I know my big breakthrough will come with time. I look forward to this fight and will be at my usual best against my opponent,” Kautondokwa said. Tickets are available at Computicket outlets, Antonio's shop in Post Street Mall and at the Windhoek Country Club reception. General tickets sell for N$200 while a VIP table seating 10 persons will cost N$10 000. The fight is sponsored by MTC.
