South Africa’s Phumelele Cafu will face WBC super flyweight champion Jesse Rodriguez in a historic triple unification bout on 19 July in Texas, USA.

Cafu holds a record of 11–0–3 with eight knockouts.

“On 19 July, it is going to be the pride of African boxing... I think people need to understand the magnitude of this event… this is massive.”

“I am very proud of Phumelele for getting this far and trusting me to get him to this point. Now the moment is going to be his, for him to capture."
