The next episode of the live professional boxing series known as AfriFite is taking shape. The event, AfriFite 3: Hometown Heroes, will rotate back to Southern Africa and will be held in Harare, Zimbabwe.
AfriFite 3: Hometown Heroes will be hosted at the Marina Casino located at Harare’s favorite shopping center and playground, Longchieng Plaza. AfriFite 3: Hometown Heroes will headline Hometown Heroine and the First Lady of Zimbabwe Boxing, Kudakwashe Chiwandire (6-3), against her Zambian nemesis Alice Mbewe (4-2) in a ten-round Feature Bout.
Heavyweight Contender Eddie Chambers (43-5) will take on Zimbabwe’s top ranked heavyweight and homegrown Hometown Hero Simon Madanhire (3-2-1) in the Main Event while Itai Mutsvairo will take on Herbert Matovu in the Co-Main Event. Main Event boxer Eddie Chambers of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) is on the comeback trail and is seeking another title shot. In the heyday of his career, Eddie Chambers was not only perennial Top Ten but also, he holds the world record for being ranked on the Top Ten list longer than any other heavyweight in history.
The super exciting Co-Main event of AfriFite 3: Hometown Heroes will feature a clash of undefeated heavyweight prospects as Hometown Hero and Zimbabwe Heavyweight Prospect Itai Mutsvairo (1-0) takes on the Dubai-based Ugandan Heavyweight Prospect Herbert Matovu (2-0) of Uganda. Itai is undefeated in his only professional fight while Matovu holds an unblemished record with two wins and no losses or draws. Effectively, the bout is a classic “Someone’s Zero Must Go” fight.
Additional bouts will be announced in the upcoming weeks leading up to the event. The event will feature a minimum of six to eight fights.
AfriFite 3: Hometown Heroes is a VVIP event limited to only a privileged 250 people. General Admission Tickets are $100.00 while the front row commands $150.00. Further, appropriate evening dress is required, preferably black-tie or dressy African garb. Says event Promoter Edward Bissau Mendy, “This in the best fight card to be held in Zimbabwe in the past few years. Limiting it to such a small audience makes it extra special. It will be a real treat for the few people that are privileged enough to score a ticket to the event. I can’t wait to see you at the fights”
Tickets are reasonably priced at $150.00 for Ringside seats and $100.00 for General Admission. Tickets may be purchased at the venue or online at www.universe.com.
