Last month’s stoppage win over Tanzanian boxer Khalid Kalama Ally has borne fruits for Siyakholwa Kuse in as far as the World Boxing Council (WBC) ratings are concerned.
The 23-year-old South African and African Boxing Union (ABU) minimumweight champion from Mdantsane has jumped six places and is now rated seventh in the latest WBC ratings.
Kuse toyed with the Tanzanian boxer before stopping him in the eighth round when they fought for the vacant ABU minimumweight title at the Whittlesea Multipurpose Hall in Sada.
The last six months of 2023 were very good for Kuse as he reclaimed his SA title after he outpointed Bangile Nyangani at the East London International Convention Centre (ICC) in July.
Five months later, Kuse, who is trained by former SA flyweight titlist Makazole Tete, had the ABU belt strapped around his waist following a win over Khalama. That victory took his record to six wins (three knockouts), two defeats and a draw.
He surely is making his mark in the division . All the best to him and his team .
