Former world title contender Azinga ‘Golden Boy’ Fuzile is going to fight for the first time in front of his home fans in almost three years.
The former South African featherweight titlist is billed to clash against Ghanaian Ishmael Aryeetey at the Orient Theatre in East London in Sunday, 3 July.
This 10 rounds international bout is Fuzile’s first fight at home since he suffered an eighth round stoppage loss to Tajikistan boxer Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) junior-lightweight eliminator.
Fuzile, who’s making his lightweight debut, will also be fighting for the first time since losing in an IBF junior-lightweight title fight against former champion Kenichi Ogawa from Japan.
Aryeetey is a former Ghana featherweight champion, who has already fought twice this year. He defeated his compatriot Henry Mensah and Nigerian Nureni Alabi both by stoppages.
On the other hand, former South African champion Yanga Sigqibo and Lerato Dlamini are going to face Filipino opponents in the same tournament.
Sigqibo clashes with Bienvenido Ligas Junior in a vacant IBF Intercontinental title fight while Dlamini faces Richard Pumicpic in an IBF International featherweight bout.
