Naidjala to face Magwaca in showdown
Local boxer Immanuel 'Prince' Naidjala will face Mzuvukile Magwaca from South Africa for the IBF Intercontinental title in Kimberley, South Africa, on 6 October.
Former WBO Intercontinental title holder Immanuel 'Prince' Naidjala will step inti the ring to challenge the highly rated and undefeated Mzuvukile Magwaca from South Africa for the IBF Intercontinental title at the ICC Centre next month in what promises to be a firecracker of a fight.
Magwaca is the current IBF Intercontinental champion. Naidjala will head into the fight with 23 fights, 3 losses and 1 draw and will be looking to redeem his boxing career after he lost his WBO Intercontinental title in April against Sibiniso Gonya from South Africa.
Naidjala's opponent remains undefeated, with 22 fights, 19 wins, and 3 draws. In July 2015 he won the WBA International title. In March this year, he won the WBF world title and then went on to win the IBF Intercontinental title in July which he will now defend against the Namibian.
“I can now officially confirm that the fight is scheduled. This is a big fight for Naidjala against a very experienced opponent, but I still have lot of confidence in my boxer and know that he can win this fight.
“I wish to make it categorically clear that even though Magwaca also currently holds the WBF Bantamweight world title, we are not interested in that title and we will be challenging him for the IBF Intercontinental Bantamweight title,” said Naidjala's trainer and promoter, Nestor Tobias from MTC Sunshine and Fitness Academy.
“I am excited to get another opportunity to get into the ring. I know I disappointed a lot of my fans in my last fight and I will use this opportunity to redeem myself. Magwaca is a respectable opponent who is undefeated, but I will give everything I have to make sure we win at all cost.”
