The latest round of ESPN Boxing Africa proved to be the best iteration of the increasingly popular series.

As reported by Sports Brief, the action took place at The Galleria in Sandton, Johannesburg in front of a highly enthusiastic crowd.

Each fight was decided by knockout as the fighters on show went all out for victory satisfyingly instead of choosing the usually sensible approach of keeping matters conservative in eking out the victory.
