Local boxer Tshifhiwa Munyai cut a 10-round contest short by knocking his international opponent out in only the second round.
The fighter from Alan Toweel Boxing Gym in Linden fought against Malawian Crispin Moliati at the Ramatlhodi Sports Complex in Polokwane.
“This was a keep-busy fight for Tshifhiwa and he looked sharp and methodical in his approach,” coach Alan Toweel said.
The fight was in the junior welterweight division one above Munyai’s previous fight’s weight, lightweight.
He demonstrated a lot of power in this fight and in future he will be campaigning in that division, Toweel said.
