WBC Press

WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu (27-2, 24 knockouts), who`s the Pride of The Congo, will defend his crown on Saturday against Nigerian challenger Olanrewaju Durodola, in iconic Kinshasa.

Makabu is coming off being crowned world champion on January 31 by defeating previously unbeaten Pole Michal Cieslak in a great bout for the vacant world title.

Durodola, a tough and dedicated fighter who has faced an array of quality rivals in his career, defeated Olarewaju Segundo last October to win the African Boxing Union (ABU) cruiserweight title.
