Doors at the Palace of Dreams’ Centre Court are scheduled to open at 6.30pm with boxing set to begin an hour later.
Mbenge has moved unhindered to a perfect 7-0 record since turning pro – all via knockout – but he could be stretched if Mukadi’s record is anything to go by.
The DRC fighter is 17-0-1 and word in the boxing grapevine suggests that he’s slick and slippery.
Not a lot is known about Mukadi’s ring presence as all of his fights have taken place in the DRC.
Cruiserweight Johnny Muller will make a welcome return to the venue when he fights undefeated Herman Potgieter of the Cape, a youngster looking to make his way in the fight game.
He will need to produce something special against the experienced Muller, who won’t lose any sleep in making the night a very long one for an upstart like Potgieter. They fight over eight rounds.
The tournament is organised by African Ring in line with Golden Gloves.

Light heavyweight – 4 rounds: Rowan Campbell vs Gabriel Mngadi
