Manyuchi to Defend Title in February
December 23, 2020
World Boxing Federation middleweight champion Charles Manyuchi will defend his title which will be unified with the WABA crown against Ugandan Muhamad Sebyala at Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) in February next year.
That will be almost a year after the original date on which the two were supposed to face-off.
The Zimbabwean was supposed to host Sebyala on April 4 this year, but the bout had to be shelved due to Covid-19.
The fight couldn’t take place either in August as the pandemic was still ravaging the world.
Manyuchi, who claimed the WBF title after beating Argentine Pablo Ezequiel Acosta via a TKO in September last year, was allowed to hold on to the crown by the sanctioning board until it was practically possible to defend it.
