Chiwandire defends her title against Munoz on Oct. 1 in Zim

Kudakwashe “Takemoney” Chiwandire is preparing to defend her WBC interim super bantamweight title at home on 1October against a hard hitting former champion, Zulina Muñoz of Mexico.

The match was originally scheduled for20 August and was postponed to allow time for logistical alignment.

Chiwandire (5-2, 4 KOs) earlier this year beat Zambia's Cathrine Phiri to win the title. Muñoz (53-4-2, 30 KOs) is fully recovered from an injury which didn’t allow her to face the champion Yamileth Mercado, who is a former WBC 115-pound and former WBO 118-pound champion.

Chiwandire was rewarded by President Mnangagwa with US$15 000 for winning the World Boxing Council Interim Super-Bantamweight world championship in February.
