Habesh Retains Cruiserweight Title, Metualy New All-Africa Featherweight King

Richard Nwoba of Louaa Boxing Promotions, in association with KLF Groups, promoted a Universal Boxing Organization™ championship twin-bill on Friday (September 19), at the Becho Sports Club in Cairo, Egypt, pairing local attractions.

UBO All-Africa Cruiserweight Champion Amr Habesh faced Mohamed Abdufatou in a rematch, after winning their first fight by TKO when a serious cut prevented Abdufatou from continuing in the seventh round last February.

This time around it would go the full distance, with the defending champion winning rather clearly on points after scoring three knockdowns, two in round four and one in round ten.

Remaining undefeated, Habesh improved his professional record to 8-0 (5), and Abdufatou falls to 8-8 (5) after losing his careers third title fight.

In the co-featured bout, Mohammed Metualy and Ibrahim Mostafa contested the vacant UBO All-Africa Featherweight title, in what was a highly anticipated encounter between two of Egypt’s most accomplished current professionals.

Metualy proved to be the better man on the night, and after twelve entertaining rounds he was awarded a deserved unanimous decision.

The new UBO Champion improved his professional ledger to 18-3 (8), while Mostafa drops to 14-6-7 (7).
