Nakathila rated number 3

WBO Africa super featherweight champion, Jeremiah 'Low-Key' Nakathila, is now ranked number three in his division.He improved his world rating from number five after an impressive knockout win in Swakopmund recently.In the third Desert Rumble boxing bonanza in August, Nakathila knocked out Malawian challenger Wilson Masamba a minute and four seconds into the fourth round, after his powerful combination of punches were too much for his opponent.This result put him in a position to fight top-rated fighters in his division, with the aim of overtaking them on the road to WBO title glory. “He is a true world champion in the making,” said trainer and promoter, Nestor Tobias, from MTC Nestor Sunshine Promotions. “This boy is a real star in the making; he has power, speed and a big heart. I can assure you that he will get the opportunity to challenge for the world title come 2019. “I have no doubt about that. His number three world rating is a blessing. Masayuki Ito from Japan just won the vacant title and he will have to defend it against Evgeny Chuprakov from Russia, who is now ranked number one, in the next few months,” Tobias added.This will bring Nakathila even closer to a world title bout. Nakathila is ecstatic about his new rating. “I feel like I'm becoming stronger and wiser with every fight. MTC Nestor Sunshine Promotions is like a family to me; I enjoy training, I'm focused on my boxing career, as I'm surrounded by world-class fighters in the gym.“I could not have asked to be in a better place in my career right now. I'm now rated number three and I know that every win will bring me closer to number one. “I want to thank the entire team and of course my fans for all the support,” said Nakathila.The boxer has a professional record of 16 wins from 17 fights. He won 12 of his bouts by knockout and has suffered only one loss in his career.LIMBA MUPETAMI
