K Ouma v K Jantuah

IT has been dubbed the fight to determine who is Africa?s boxing king.

Newly crowned IBF junior middleweight champion Kassim ?The Dream? Ouma fights Ghana?s Kofi Jantuah in the US tonight in the first fight between Africans for a world title in nearly 50 years.

On June 24, 1957, Nigerian Hogan ?Kid? Bassey defeated Algerian Cherif Hamia. Ouma 20-1-1(13 KOS) beat Verno Phillips last year. Uganda?s Celestino Mindra is supervising the fight.
