(AUG 26) Noni Tenge remains
the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Women's World Super
Welterweight Champion after defeating long-time rival Mapule
Ngubane by sixth round technical knockout on Sunday, August
25th, at the Indoor Sports Centre in Mdantsane, East London,
South Africa.
After two previous fights where
Ngubane held her own in entertaining scraps before losing
decisions, Tenge proved to be on another level in the third
encounter, as she dominated the fight and eventually forced
Ngubane to retire on her stool after round five.
This was the third successful defense of the WBF World title for
Tenge, who, as one of the most accomplished South African female
boxers, is also a former WBA World titlist at Super
Welterweight, and WBF and IBF World Champion at Welterweight.
A pro since 2007, Noni “She Bee Stinging” Tenge improved her
impressive record to 20-1-1 (11), while former South African
national Middleweight title-holder Mapule Ngubane drops to a
misleading 8-8-3 (1).
The fight was promoted by Zbashy Promotions & Events, headed by
Sibongile Matiti.
