Malawi\u2019s top female pugilist, Agnes Mtimaukanena-Mwando, is now eligible for a World Boxing Council (WBC) silver title fight after earning a top rating.<\/p>\n
The Malawian is now expected to face Zambian, Lorita Muzeya, in a WBC silver title fight in Zambia on a date to be announced, thanks to Malawi Professional Boxing Control Board\u2019s (MPBCB) intervention.<\/p>\n
MPBCB president, Lonzoe Zimba, took advantage of the ongoing 53rd WBC annual convention in Kunming City in China to convince the world boxing body on the Malawian boxer\u2019s rating.<\/p>\n
Zimba, in a telephone interview yesterday, said WBC president, Maurico Suleman, and the rest of the delegates agreed to grant Mtimaukanena a WBC rating.<\/p>\n
\u201cI convinced them that Agnes deserves a WBC rating and they accepted. Fortunately, our colleagues of Zambia Oriental Boxing Quarries were present and they agreed to set a fight against Muzeya. Other details concerning the fight would be released later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mtimaukanena said facing the Zambian was a great opportunity, which she cannot reject.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot say no to such a great opportunity. I am sure my promoters and manager will welcome the development,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Mtimaukanena\u2019s new manager, Hassam Mitha, said they would discuss before picking the offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, it sounds appetising. I don\u2019t think that we will turn it down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mtimaukanena\u2019s international career looked gloomy after the World Boxing Forum revoked the welterweight belt two years ago.<\/p>\n
However, since returning from maternity break, Mtimaukanena has recorded victories to improve her record to seven wins, two defeats and two draws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
