Nkabiti struggles to secure title fight

'The Raging Bull' registered another technical knockout (TKO), outsmarting Free State boxer, Carlos Mbimi in the first round of a six-rounder on Saturday. This was Nkabiti's sixth straight win since turning professional, but the Kanye born boxer is still to get a title fight. His manager, Larona Francis told Mmegi Sport that they were still in negotiations with some promoters in South Africa with the hope of landing the boxer a title fight in the near future.

"The major problem is that we do not have a professional body in our country which would help in securing such fights. The other thing is that, for him (Nkabiti) to fight in a title bout that title has to be vacant and that is not easy," he said. Francis said that the 29-year-old boxer, who moved to South Africa in 2009, had not lost hope and that his impressive record would work to his advantage should he find a prospective opponent in the paying ranks.
