iamasadlittleboy Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Undefeated heavyweight prospect Flo Simba will fight former IBF champion Francois Botha near Johannesburg on June 4. The promoters, Golden Gloves, regard it as the biggest fight in South Africa since Hasim Rahman knocked out Lennox Lewis in Brakpan ten years ago. The tournament will be held at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park. Botha, who has fought Lewis, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield and held the IBF heavyweight title during his long career, is expected to give 21-year-old Simba his toughest fight yet.

Boxrec rank him at #106 worldwide, he's stepping up to face Botha but a win will sky rocket him up the boxrec rankings I'd assume (Botha is #78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I heard on Flo Simba from my South African friend, he's a good prospect, good and quick hitter but is not big and tall, is a Cruiser, Simba fought just beyond 200 lbs.
