After he won the Eastern Cape Welterweight title against Jongikhaya Leve in Grahamstown, in October, everyone was wondering if Mziwoxolo Ndwayana, the Black Tiger, would be able to defend the title.
Ndwayana answered the question in Stutterheim on Saturday, when he faced Phumlani Mdlokolo.

Ndwayana had plenty of support on his way to the boxing ring, with his supporters from Grahamstown shouting and cheering him on – Makana Mayor, Zamuxolo Peter, among them.

The fight started well for Ndwayana.

He went straight to Mdlokolo, giving him no space to breathe, or get into his rhythm.

Ndwayana knocked out his opponent in the first round, with the time count on two minutes and 13 seconds. Mdlokolo did not get up, looking at his corner and shaking his head as he lay there, while Ndwayana was starting to celebrate his first title defence.

After the fight, Ndwayana told Grocott's Mail: “I'd like to thank my father, who is my trainer, and Sakhiwo Duruwe, for the job they are doing and also the supporters who come all the way from Grahamstown to support me. I am looking forward to my next fight.”

Criss Phondo, of Msizakhe Boxing Promotions, said he was very happy that the event had been a success and apologised for the fact that the fight had been postponed many times before taking place.
