Three local boxers underlined their credentials after defeating foreign opponents in international bouts held at M1 Centre Point in Lilongwe on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Limbani Masamba was declared winner against Zambian Guy Tshimanga on points in the welterweight category.<\/p>\n
Masamba described Tshimanga as one of the toughest boxers he has ever faced.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is an experienced boxer. It was not an easy bout for me but I showed that I am also a good boxer,\u201d Masamba said.<\/p>\n
The Malawian was later presented with a K50,000 cheque from B-Square Leisure Centre for his win.<\/p>\n
Tshimanga said he will ask for a rematch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have seen the way he fights and I want a rematch,\u201d he said in brief response to the loss.<\/p>\n
The result has taken Masamba\u2019s record to 11 wins and eight losses whereas Tshimanga suffered his third defeat.<\/p>\n
But the toast of the day was Israel Kam\u2019mwamba who knocked out Zambian Emmanuel Kabwe in the fifth round.<\/p>\n
It was a sweet revenge for Kam\u2019mwamba who lost to the Zambian five years ago during the Zone VI Games in Lusaka.<\/p>\n
In another bout, Aubrey Masamba won against Zimbabwean Tinashe Mwadziwana on points.<\/p>\n
The bout was closely contested and some observers believed that a draw could have been a fair result.<\/p>\n
The bouts were organised by New Dawn Boxing Promotions in conjunction with No Pain No Gain Boxing Promotions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
