Fourie suffers major setback

The highly acclaimed 23-year-old IBF Continental champion, fondly dubbed "K9" by his fans, saw his defensive flaws brutally exposed early-on and succumbed to a shock first-round technical knockout defeat by the Zambian Simon Ngoma (above).

The bout, scheduled for 10 rounds, was the headliner on Aquila Boxing Promotions' first tilt at the promotional business at the Galleria Events Arena in Sandton on Saturday night.

The popular 32-year-old WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena, still active as a boxer, is the front man for the newest promotional consortium, who staged an impressive tournament.
