Notes

• vacant WBA International heavyweight title
• Neither fighter ranked by any organization coming into the fight. The fight's outcome did not change that.
• The bout was originally set for 12 rounds however both managers of the boxers came to a last minute agreement to shorten it to 10 rounds. Botha had no idea of the changes neither did the people who watched on TV or were live at the crowd since they didn't announce the change and the announcer originally said it was for 12 rounds
