Reigning IBO featherweight champion Lusanda Komanisi has left long-time trainer Nick Durandt in Gauteng and joined the growing stable of boxing manager Mlandeli Thengimfene in East London.
Boxers in that All Winner Boxing Club, which boasts the likes of newly crowned WBO Africa junior-bantamweight titleholder Zolani “Last Born” Tete, are trained by Loyiso Mtya and Zolile Tete, Zolani’s father.
“Please convey the message Komanisi wants him so bad any time and anywhere for as long as there is a promoter willing to pay us a good purse,” said Thengimfene.
Munyai is the enormously talented yet unpredictable boxer from Makwarela in Limpopo.
Having spent three unprofitable years in Britain, Munyai has rejoined trainer Warren Hulley in Johannesburg.
He said there was nothing that sounded warning bells about Komanisi and that victory against him would relaunch his career.
A lot was expected from Munyai whose career began with a bang when he won the Commonwealth title in the bantam division in 2006. That win and two impressive defences against previously undefeated British prospects, Martin Powers and Lee Haskins, earned Munyai the inaugural Danny Mancini 2007 award.
