Promoter Branco Milenkovic stages one of the biggest boxing events ever in East London (South Africa) on Saturday when local boy Ali Funeka meets the highly rated Zahir Raheem from the US in an IBF lightweight title final eliminator and Moruti Mthalane meets Hussein Hussein of Australia in a final eliminator for the IBF flyweight title. The highly rated Raheem 29-2; 17 will be the toughest opponent faced by Funeka 29-1-2, 24 since he made his pro debut in September 1995 when he fought to a draw over four rounds against Simphiwe Xabendlini.
