Mdantsane Indoor Center in East London had the distinction of hosting fight cards on both Friday and Saturday night and each evening saw explosive finishes in this Eastern Cape venue.

Saturday was the larger of the two fight cards, with four title belts on tap. Headlining the bill was the IBO Minimumweight Championship that saw reigning southpaw titlist Nkosinathi Joyi, 19-0 (15) stay on track with a second round KO of Lorenoz Trejo, 30-17-1 (7), of Mexico.

Heavyweight Osborne Machimana, 17-6-1 (12), solidified his grip on the South African title by seeing off Cape Town slugger Miyan Solomons, 9-6-1 (8), over twelve rounds in a rematch. More...
