Manyuchi faces Zambian in non-title match

Former World Boxing Council welterweight international champion Charles Manyuchi will face Zambian Kasongo Sherrif in a non-title bout at the Zimart Mall in Ndola, Zambia on July 2.

According to Manyuchi’s managers Oriental Quarries Boxing Promotions, the tournament is being hosted in Northern Zambia as a way to spread boxing. Manyuchi will be hoping to reclaim his welterweight title when Qudratillo Abduqaxorov takes on Russian Dmitry Mikhaylenko in the WBC silver title decider in Ekatenrinburg on July 10. Reports suggest there is a clause in the contract that was signed between Manyuchi and Qudratillo that gives the Zimbabwean another shot at the title if he fails in the first match.
