Rejuvenated 36-year-old SA lightweight boxing champion Tshifhiwa Munyai is demanding what he calls deserved purse money for his proposed third title defence against Lusanda Komanisi.
Promoter Tshele Kometsi said the Gauteng Boxing Promoters Association was willing to organise the shoot-out that was called on by Komanisi a few minutes after watching Munyai knocking out Sanele Msimago in the third round of the champion’s mandatory defence at Booysens Hall on Sunday.
“We are both redeeming ourselves. I lost my IBO belt and started all over again by winning the SA title. Lusanda also lost his IBO title and suffered other defeats, so he wants to start all over again. I will not be his stepping stone – never.” Munyai won the domestic title from Siphosethu Mvula last year and he registered the first defence in May with a 10th-round stoppage of Khaya Busakwe. Komanisi redeemed himself with a seventh-round stoppage of Msimango but in the lightweight division. He won two more fights and those wins earned him the No 4 spot in Boxing SA’s August ratings.
