Former world champion Zolani ‘Last Born’ Tete from Mdantsane is going to meet his opponent Jason Cunningham for the first time on Thursday.
Tete and Cunningham will come face-to-face during a press conference at The Drum, Brent Civic Centre, in Wembley, London.
The 34-year-old Tete faces Cunningham from Yorkshire at the Ovo Arena, Wembley, London in the United Kingdom in Saturday. At stake are going to be Cunningham’s IBF International and Commonwealth junior-featherweight titles.
British Boxing promoter Frank Warren has promised the winner of the Tete-Cunningham fight a shot at World Boxing Association (WBA) ‘Super’ and IBF junior-featherweight champion Murudjon Akhmadaliev’s titles.
Akhmadaliev from Uzbekistan successfully defended his titles with a 12th round stoppage of American boxer Ronny Rios on Sunday morning (South African time).
