South African champion Tshifhiwa Munyai has decided to push himself more than ever before as he’s going to defend his title against Sanele Msimang.
Munyai, who is the current SA lightweight champion, has admitted that Msimang is a closed book to him.
The two gladiators are scheduled to collide against each other at the Booysens Boxing Gym in Johannesburg on Sunday, 31 October.
“To be honest, I don’t know much about him except that he is a southpaw,” Munyai said.
“I have been in the gym for a long time now. I need to get more focused and expect anything from him.”
Meanwhile, the tournament sees the return of Siphiwe Lusizi, who will fight for the first time since December 2016.
