Tomoya Tsuboi<\/a> for the vacant WBC junior-bantamweight title in Japan.<\/p>\nThe Malajikas are trained by Manny Fernandes, with boxing hall of fame inductee Brian \u201cThe Road Warrior\u201d Mitchell managing their careers.<\/p>\n
Golden Gloves, SA\u2019s premier boxing promotions company, which has produced world champions from all world sanctioning bodies since 1990, promotes the careers of the Malajika brothers.<\/p>\n
Golden Gloves CEO Rodney Berman and the company\u2019s director, Nivi Grogor, invited WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman to SA in May.<\/p>\n
He attended the WBC mini flyweight world championship between Mitchells\u2019 charge Siyakhola Kuse and dethroned title holder Melvin Jerusalem.<\/p>\n
Sulaiman promised to give South Africans opportunities.<\/p>\n
Two months later, Golden Gloves fighters will be involved in world boxing titles of that Mexico-based boxing body.<\/p>\n
His ring craft has carried him to the brink of a major breakthrough<\/p>\n
\u2014 \u00a0Clinton van der Berg, Golden Gloves\u2019 publicist<\/p>\n
Charlton has not fought since he stopped Filipino foe Froilan Saludar in the fourth round in Golden Gloves\u2019 event at Emperors Palace in October.<\/p>\n
The IBO Youth bantamweight champion, who made his pro debut in May 2023, has nine wins, with four coming by a knockout, against a loss.<\/p>\n
His dance partner, Mwale, who serves his country as a police inspector, is the former ABU champ.<\/p>\n
He claimed the vacant WBC International bantamweight title in June last year by defeating Ghana\u2019s Michael Decardi Nelson.<\/p>\n
Mwale\u2019s most recent victory occurred in July when he successfully defended his WBC International title against Tanzanian challenger Ramadhan Milonzi via a stoppage in Lusaka.<\/p>\n
Mwale remains undefeated after 13 fights. The fight on Saturday is the sort of fight that reveals whether a promising contender is ready for the world stage. <\/p>\n
Golden Gloves\u2019 publicist Clinton van der Berg described Malajika as a slick boxer with sharp feet and a disciplined work ethic. \u201cHe is at his best when he dictates the geography of a fight,\u201d said Van der Berg. \u201cHe glides in and out of range, builds pressure behind intelligent movement rather than reckless aggression, and forces opponents to chase shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHis ring craft has carried him to the brink of a major breakthrough.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut nothing about Lusaka will come easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luckily, Grogor will travel to Lusaka to support her charge.<\/p>\n
