Energy has eyes set on Bonokoane

If anything, fear is not what Fillipus &#039;Energy&#039; Nghitumbwa feels about his opponent Thato Bonokoane.After a disappointing result in the Philippines on 13 May, Nghitumbwa will face the tough South African for the vacant WBO Africa Super bantamweight title.This bout - set to take place on Saturday, 2 December, at the Windhoek Country Club and Resort - will be very entertaining since both boxers are power fighters, according to Nestor Tobias, Nghitumbwa’s promoter and trainer from the MTC Nestor Tobias Sunshine Boxing Academy.It will be a fight full of action and will certainly end in a knock-out, he said.As it stands, Nghitumbwa has a record of 14 fights, 12 wins and two losses.Nicknamed &#039;Captain Charisma&#039;, Bonokoane is the current WBF world champion, with a record of 21 fights, 15 wins, five losses and one draw.“This fight will ensure that Energy gets back to top 15 ranking and gets a chance at a world title. Energy is our flagship and our future world champion and he needs to redeem himself from his loss to John Riel Casimero," Tobias said.A man of few words, Nghitumbwa said he is ready to step into the ring and show his opponent what he&#039;s made of.The rest of the boxing card for the 2 December event:1.
