The 10th and only title fight of the night kicked off at about 11pm with the arena packed with supporters and boxing legends including Nick Durandt.

His left punch, well trained and highly effective, constantly surprised Lartey and impressed the judges. “He could have fought all of the 12 rounds,” said his coach Ashley Fourie of the Randburg Boxing Club. “I am happy now, this is the first step,” Mukala said. He thanked his parents back in Congo, and his fans who came out in their numbers to support him. The next step for The Panther, Fourie said, was a fight either in America or Europe. “We now need a few good fights for the experience. We are aiming for Las Vegas,” he added.
