Local professional boxers, Steven ‘Small’ Bagwasi and Kutlwano ‘Elchino’ Ogaketse had a good day in the ring on Thursday during the ESPN Africa Boxing series that was held in Johannesburg at night.

The two boxers stepped into the ring as under dogs against South Africans. The local lads went into the ring without decorated backgrounds which could have prompted their opponents to undermine them. Ogaketse proved that he was a force to reckon with when he won by an unanimous decision against Prince Ndlovu.

The two boxers were battling it out on an eight round match. Ogaketse started off the match with an intention to finish off his opponent quickly. With his power punches, the Drad boxing stable boxer had on many occasions threatened to floor Ndlovu. In the second bout, Bagwasi stood the test of time when he won by a split decision against experienced Koos Sibiya.
