Wellem ready to tackle Tanzania’s Kassim: Boxing promoter Happy Tewo and emerging manager Siyanda Zingelwa differed completely with the view that they are exposing Asemahle Wellem to harm by allowing him to challenge experiencedWBF Intercontinental super…
The fight will take place at Malaika Hotel, Mwanza City in Tanzania, tomorrow evening. Wellem, 22, has only six fights with 28 rounds. He already holds the South African title. He has three short-route wins.
The purse money offered to Wellem by Mo Green International Sports Promotion is very good. It's a six-figure purse. “I don’t think the crowd issue will affect Asemahle,” said Tewo yesterday. “We watched Kassim against Alex Kabangu and there is nothing special about him. Asemahle must stick to the plan of not exceeding four rounds.”
“We turned that fight down because we needed rounds on our side,” he explained. “Now that Asemahle has fought a 10-round fight against Kabangu, we felt he is ready – we accepted the fight this time.
