Charles Manyuchi set to return in the ring. Charles Manyuchi coach Ali ‘Otto’ Phiri says his boxer will start camp in May ahead of the WBF/WABA supreme middleweight unification title defence in June. The boxer hasn’t been in the ring since beating Argentine Pablo Acosta and could only return this June against Ugandan boxer, Mahomed Sebyala, for the right to retain his WBF crown.
The 31-year-old, was supposed to defend his belt in Harare in April last year but due to the outbreak of the deadly Covid-19 pandemic, the match had to be shelved to a later date. The match is scheduled for the Harare International Conference Centre (HICC) on June 28.
“The boxer is getting in camp next month. We have been training yes just to keep in shape but we will intensify our preparations soon,” Phiri said. The fight against the Ugandan would be Manyuchi’s first bout after a year on the side-lines.
He will be returning to action for the first time since beating the Argentine boxer via a third-round technical knockout at HICC in September 2019 to land the World Boxing Federation (WBF) world middleweight title.
“We are happy about the new date. It has been long overdue. As you are aware the fight was supposed to have been held in April last year but due to Covid-19, we had to wait. “We hope everything will be fine so that we can be able to fulfil this chapter and move on to the next,” Ali told.
“The Covid-19 break did not break us, rather it made us stronger. We are not going to disappoint.” Manyuchi sits on 24 wins, four defeats with only a single knockout and one draw from 29 bouts whilst his opponent Sebyala has 19 wins, 13 defeats and one draw from a total of 33 bouts.
The Zimbabwean boxer is targeting to reclaim the World Boxing Council (WBC) silver welterweight belt, which he lost two years ago.
