Onkarabile Scara Mothibedi spilled the oils from Gearbox Babui to win the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Africa Super bantam weight title through a unanimous decision.

The highly charged bout was held at GICC on Saturday night. The build up to the bout was emotional for Gearbox after he failed to make the weight, clocking 4kg over weight.

Odds were against Gearbox but he started the first round on fire taking the fight to Scara and some people thought he would not reach round 12. It was the first time a belt title was contested for in Botswana by local boxers. In the second round, Scara started attacking but he was let down by failing to follow up the body punches that he made. The upper cuts that he threw were easily detected by Gearbox. The Scud stable boxer, Gearbox dominated the first three rounds.
