Two-time South African champion Xolisani ‘Nomeva’ Ndongeni is scheduled to fight against Ladarius ‘Memphis’ Miller from the United States in the Bahamas in May.
Ndongeni and Miller, a southpaw who is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the US, are going to meet at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium in Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday, 13 May. Thomas A Robinson Stadium is a multi-purpose venue and is the largest in the Bahamas. It is a 15 023-seater venue, which could be expanded to accommodate 23 000 people.
KwaBhaca-born Ndongeni stopped Thai boxer Apinun Khongsong in his last fight, which was held in Durban in November. The former International Boxing Organisation (IBO) lightweight titlist is on a five-fight winning streak since his shock sixth round stoppage loss to current SA junior-welterweight champion Prince Dlomo in October 2020.
Meanwhile, Miller is going to be the second American boxer to fight against Ndongeni, who lost to Devin Haney in Shreveport in the US in January 2019.
Haney is now as unified World Boxing Council (WBC), World Boxing Association (WBA) ‘Super’, International Boxing Federation (IBF) and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) lightweight champion.
Memphis-born Miller lost to his compatriot Michel Rivera in a vacant IBF USBA lightweight clash in his last fight, which took place in October 2020. Miller hasn’t fought since that loss to Rivera.
