Africa Boxing Union (Abu) Super Lightweight champion, Anisha Bashir, is in line for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) International belt after being tipped to face Argentinean boxer Marisa Nunez.<\/p>\n
Bashir is ranked sixth on WBC rankings in the super lightweight category whereas her potential opponent is ranked 13th.<\/p>\n
Delta Force Boxing Academy trainer, Clyde Musonda, said negotiations with his partner and Bashir\u2019s Manager, Craig Rousseau of No Pain No Gain Boxing Promotions, were underway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have those plans but, currently, we are discussing the purse money [contractual fee] as well as with our rival camp. Once we are done with my partner Craig, I will be able to give you our final stand,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sources indicate that Bashir\u2019s management team wants to stage the fight in Malawi in June. Musonda could neither confirm nor deny.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will give you a proper update once we are through with this process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Bashir rose to fame after knocking out Kenyan boxer, Consolata Masunga, in the ninth-round at Carnivore Gardens in Nairobi, Kenya on December 2 to lift the Abu crown.<\/p>\n
She has also been nominated for the Sports Woman of the Year category for the inaugural Malawi Sport Awards to be held at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
