Abraham ‘Energy’ Ndaendapo will fight for the vacant IBF Continental Africa Jr. Lightweight title just around the corner in August. Ndaendapo an elite boxer from the ‘hard punching club’ has elicited excitement in various quarters hence his qualification to vie for the IBF Jr. Lightweight title.

The tournament will take place in the Namibian Northern Center of Ondangwa and will be promoted by the new Namibian boxing promoters Salute Boxing Academy.
Ndaendapo has been outside the ring after suffering a spinal cord injury while training to defend his IBF Continental Africa Jr. Lightweight Title last year which kept him from boxing activities while recuperating.

“This is not a revolution, it is an evolution,” Andjamba said, “Boxing in Africa was never dead; it’s just been waiting to be resurrected. IBF/AFRICA is now rising for the cause”.
