Catherine, Manyuchi win ABU fights

Share

Catharine Phiri and Charles Manyuchi on Saturday night both won their respective Africa Boxing Union title fights.

Catharine pounded her way to an eighth knockout win over Hawa Babirye of Uganda to pick up the ABU women’s bantamweight title.

Babirye gave Catherine a first round scare before pounding the seemingly unflappable Ugandan to the canvas in their 10 round bout.

Meanwhile, Manyuchi picked up his sixth career knockout Isaac Sowah in his first defence of the ABU title he won in June.

Manyuchi flattened the Ghana boxer in the third round just after Sowah sent the Zimbabwean down with a blow below the belt.

    • @Reactor, This is a way of teaching a person like you a lesson. Manyuchi would enjoy punching your rectangular head.
      People like you get knocked down even by girls, I mean Catherine kuti akuponona iwe.

  1. We deserve better than this Manyuchi.When we want to watch comedy we switch to ZNBC’s swearing in ceremonies.Please take him back to Zimbabwe

    • Give that guy a break! He entertained us as he pounded that Ghanaian. Take to the ring yoself if u want better than that..

  2. Zambians are good at Blows i guess i thought it was only with their sharp tongues!
    But you guys are very funny… ati Flattened the Ghanian ….lol

  3. @Mailon,

    Give credit where it is due. Why are you so selfish? Manyuchi pounded that Ghanaian fake fair and square. What more did you want? it is very easy to criticize when you are out there. Go inside and it can be very hot I tell you.

  4. Manyuchi is a great boxer, if you are disputing then I doubt your knowledge. Big up Manyuchi! we love you. As for our sweet Catherine, she is unstoppable. Go Zambia Go!

  5. Definitely Catherine is far better than Esther Phiri, the girl is good and has tactics. Her wins are unquestionable unlike mamakankasa…

    • Just appreciate that the Two girls are very good boxers. No comparisons becuase they are fighting in different classes. Its like most of you are jealous of Ester Phiri for marrying Nsanda, Its her own private decision.
