World title contender Sivenathi ‘Special One’ Nontshinga and his handlers flew out of South Africa for Central America on Monday evening.
Nontshinga is going to Mexico to face Mexican Hector Flores in a vacant International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior-flyweight title fight in Hermosillo, Sorona, Mexico on Saturday (Sunday morning, South African time).
The 23-year-old Nontshinga left the country together with his trainer Colin Nathan, his father Thembani Gopheni and Royal Talent Management’s Siya Zingelwa.
This is going to be the first time the unbeaten Nontshinga, who has won all his 10 bouts, fights outside South Africa.
Nontshinga will be fighting for the first time since he defeated Filipino boxer Christian Araneta in an elimination bout in Gqeberha in April last year.
