Malawi's well known boxer Wilson Masamba will face an Egyptian opponent in a title fight scheduled for June this year, World Boxing Empire(WBE) announced on Sunday.
The proposed opponent for Malawi’s Wilson Masamba is Ramadan Awod “Bom Bom” from Cairo, Egypt,” said WBE president Emmanuel Mlundwa.
He further said the title of the fight was Universal Boxing Organisation (UBO) Featherweight).
However Masamba is scheduled for another preparatory fight in Kazakhstan this month but Mlundwa said the June fight would not hamper the boxer’s preparatory fight.
Mlundwa said UBO had now confirmed the fight and Malawi Boxing Association (Maba) and Masamba’s promoter had to come up with a date for the bout.
Maba president Jerome Waluza confirmed to Malawi’s local daily of the Daily Times that they had received the letter of notification of the fight against the Egyptian.
Meanwhile Malawi’s athletes found it tough at IAAF World Championship in Edinburgh on Sunday when they failed to win any medal.
The Southern African country was represented by Catherine Chikwakwa Chunda, Miriam Thole and Mike Tebulo.
The 8km women’s senior category was won by Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba whereas in the men’s category Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele was the winner.
