7 LUCKY BOXERS IN FINALS
Tanzania’s Yusuf Changalawe vs Egypt’s Salah Orabi in third fight
Seven lucky boxers – five women and two men – are through to the finals of Mandela African Boxing Cup tournament without throwing a punch.
The seven were favoured by the draws conducted today in South Africa’s coastal city of Durban.
In the women’s category, the five in the finals are Eswatini’s light-middleweight T.Dlamini, Kenya’s middleweight Liz Andiego, DR Congo’s light-heavyweight M.Mwika and heavyweights, DR Congo’s Tekasala Malewu and South Africa’s M.Ngobeni both of whom made it to the finals because their weight class had only two entrants.
The two male boxers in the finals are South Africa’s heavyweight H.Isaacs and Zimbabwe’s super-heavyweight Anesu Motsi.
Tanzania’s Yusuf Changalawe and Egypt’s Salah Orabi (pictured) will meet again in the quarter-finals. This will be their third fight, each with one win.
