South African female junior-featherweight champion Matshidiso ‘Scorpion Queen’ Mokatsane and her adversary Monalisa Takane are ready to exchange blows.
The two lasses will face off for the second time in a year when they clash at a Rise Women In Boxing tournament at The Ridge Casino in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, on Sunday afternoon.
The first fight between Kroonstad-born Mokatsane and Takane from Kirkwood ended in a draw at the Feathermarket Theatre in Gqeberha in October last year. Stephen Simon scored the fight 97-91, Nkosinathi Zamela 93-96 and Vuyokazi Ncata’s score card read 94-94.
A few days ago, the 34-year-old Mokatsane promised to show Takane what she’s made of. On the other hand, the 31-year-old Takane was determined to dethrone Mokatsane and Sunday afternoon offers her an opportunity to do that.
