This weekend an intriguing matchup between two undefeated super featherweights will take place in South Africa. Azinga Fuzile (14-0, 8 knockouts) will defend his home turf and look to rise up the IBF rankings where he’s currently ranked number 5, as he welcomes in the number 4 rated IBF contender Shavkat Rakhimov (14-0, 11 knockouts).


Stakes are high and each fighter is looking to build on their recent success though the fact this matchup came to fruition is a bit surprising. Fuzile was supposed to travel to Japan for a title eliminator against Kenichi Ogawa though visa issues prevented this from happening.

Shavkat Rakhimov won an entertaining battle by 8th-round KO.

Fuzile looked excellent until the last round, kinda disappointed tbh, because he was looking like a serious talent who could beat Farmer maybe, while Shak, even though he won, is just gonna get outboxed at higher levels I think.

Was that first KD from an elbow though?
