Top-rated junior middleweight contender Brendan Thysse will challenge national champion Nkululeko Mhlongo next month, Golden Gloves promoter Rodney Berman has confirmed.
The fight will take place at Emperors Palace on September 9.
"It's a fascinating fight with the battle-hardened Mhlongo against a youngster who is fast, ambitious and hits exceptionally hard," said Berman yesterday.
"The big question is whether Brendan has the experience to pull off a win against someone with twice as many bouts. But trainer Harold Volbrecht is a wily reader of the local fight game and won't have accepted the assignment if he didn't believe Thysse could pull it off."
