Boxing enthusiasts from Mdantsane and especially the followers of South Africa's bantamweight champion Simphiwe Vetyeka, must brace themselves for yet another splendid display from their idol when he takes on Luthando Maqolo on Friday night.

This assurance came direct from Vetyeka's manager Mzimase Mnguni on Tuesday. The fight will take place at the Centenary Hall in Port Elizabeth.

"He will continue where he left off. I expect him to continue to show what he is made off," said Mguni, who has produced a number of top local name world beaters in the Eastern Cape.

Mnguni was referring to his 22-year-old near novice's marvellous display of art against seasoned campaigner Khulille Makeba, a former South Africa mini-fly, South Africa and WBC bantamweight international champion, two months back.

Vetyeka, with a record of nine wins (five KOs) against a loss, easily outboxed Makeba, 20 (12 stoppages) 4-1, to win the national title on a unanimous points decision in February at Secunda.
