Soon after successfully defending his national junior lightweight title against a stubborn David Shinuna on Saturday, Flame \u2018Special One\u2019 Nangolo called out WBO Global super bantamweight Philipus \u2018Energy\u2019 Nghitumbwa for a fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want the energy man. If he is ready to fight me, we can set it up; it\u2019s the fight I\u2019ve always wanted,\u201d said Nangolo. His title defence was the main bout of the AC Boxing Academy boxing bonanza in the capital.<\/p>\n

Nangolo proved to be the better boxer on the night, winning by a unanimous decision. At the end of the 10-round bout, a confident Nangolo said it was not a tough fight, and he was happy with his performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI managed to take it up step by step and get a win, and I am overall happy with the way I have performed today,\u201d he said. The encounter started with good toe-to-toe boxing, with both boxers throwing head and body shots and oozing confidence at the end of the first round.<\/p>\n

In the second round, Nangolo upped his dominance as he continued to jab Shinuna, who fired some heavy punches but these did not land successfully. In the fourth round, Shinuna started to pick up his pace and seemed to be posing a threat to Nangolo. However, Nangolo kept him at bay, and managed to register his ninth win from nine fights.<\/p>\n

In the main supporting bout, Alfeus \u2018Mosquito\u2019 Shaanika managed to stop Hedison Hipondokwa with a technical knockout in the second round of their national welterweight eliminator.<\/p>\n

In the junior bantamweight, Johhny Herman defeated Jacob Jacob via a split decision.<\/p>\n
