Langa<\/a> was ecstatic on Sunday 10 August over one of its own crowned International Boxing Organisation (IBO) All Africa champion in the Super Bantamweight Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simankele ‘Sima’ Tutsheni (23) defeated Caleigh Swart<\/a> in a unanimous points decision at Emperor’s Palace in Kempton Park, Johannesburg on Saturday 9 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight consecutive matches, three of them knockouts, led to Saturday’s match, which he described as one of the toughest. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she had been well prepared for the fight and it was her time to shine. “Swart didn’t have strong punches. I could have knocked her out during the match, but I decided to continue and entertain the crowd.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tutsheni, who works as a firefighter for Working on Fire, said preparing for the fight wasn’t easy because she works during the day and trained in the afternoon.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western Cape Bantamweight Champion said she was waiting for the promoters to announce the next opponent.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Of my eight matches two were with Adidya Mimu and Pamela Matunga, both from Malawi. Of all my fights the toughest was against Pamela.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fight was at Sunningdale Sport Complex in September last year, which she described as “a humdinger”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tutsheni’s coach Felix Vengenayi, from Blood, Sweat and Tears stable, praised Tutsheni for fighting according to the game plan. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described her as a hard puncher. “We knew the opponent’s weaknesses and strongest points,” he said. “We worked according to her weaknesses, and it worked for us.” \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vengenayi expressed his gratitude to all who had supported them before and during the match, and whom they will do their utmost never to disappoint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
