Upcoming professional boxer Errikie Errikie won the vacant WBC silver youth junior lightweight title with a stunning display in East London on Saturday night.
Fighting outside Namibia for the first time, Errikie (21) beat the local favourite Lonwabo Sizani with a fourth round technical knockout after a dominant display.
According to reports, Errikie went after Sizani from the start and soon silenced the local supporters with his aggression and sustained pressure.
By the fourth round he was all over Sizani and dropped him to the canvas twice before the referee stepped in to stop the fight.
It was the first defeat for Sizani, who had won his first five fights by knockout, while Errikie now also has a pro record of five wins and one loss.
His only defeat came via a split-decision loss to Jonathan Kasheeta a year ago, but since then he has won his last two fights via TKO, beating Erasmus Hifivali in the first round and Benjamin Dula in the fourth.
