On Saturday night at North-West University Sports Complex in Mafikeng, South Africa, Malcolm Klassen regained his IBF Super Feather title with a seventh round stoppage of top rival Cassius Baloyi.

No one could have predicted the dominant performance that Klassen, 24-4-2 (15), produced as the former titlist had Baloyi's number the minute the bell rang to begin the first round.

Klassen simply drove through the distance that the much taller Baloyi had hoped to maintain throughout the scheduled 12 round contest and had the reigning champion in very deep trouble as early as the first frame. More...

The biggest fight thus far this year in South Africa takes place tonight at North-West University Sports Complex in Mafikeng when IBF Super Feather Champ Cassius Baloyi faces the challenge of Malcolm Klassen.

Baloyi, 36-3-1 (19), and Klassen, 23-4-2 (14), are the top two super feathers in the country and fans across South Africa have been waiting for the clash of these two for a very long time.

34 year old Baloyi has participated in many title fights during his reigns as IBO and IBF super feather, WBU feather and super bantam champion.

The Johannesburg resident holds victories over Manuel Medina, Mzonke Fana, Lehlohonolo Ledwaba (twice), Mbulelo Botile, Gairy St. Clair and Frankie Toldeo while he's come up short only against St. Clair, Isaac Hlatshwayo and Phillip N'dou.

Baloyi captured the IBF crown for the second time in his career when he posted a majority decision against reigning champion Fana a year ago and made a successful defense by stopping Argentina's Javier Osvaldo Alvarez in the third round last September. More...
