Xolisani ‘Nomeva’ Ndongeni quickly dispatched Malawian boxer Israel ‘Money Machine’ Kam’mwamba in the first round during their fight at the Ingwenyama Lodge in White River, Mpumalanga, on Saturday evening.
Following the win, the 31-year-old Ndongeni won the vacant African Boxing Union (ABU) junior-welterweight title.

KwaBhaca-born Ndongeni has stretched his record to 29 wins with 17 stoppages and two defeats while Kam’mwamba has 12 victories (eight knockouts), seven losses and a draw.
