Rampant Mthalane set for fourth defence of IBF crownMORUTI "Babyface" Mthalane is set to face Milan Melindo in a voluntary defence of his International Boxing Federation flyweight title either before the end of the year or early in next year.ON A ROLL: IBF flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane PHOTO: BAFANA MAHLANGU This was disclosed by Branco Sports Productions boss Branco Milenkovic yesterday. The 29-year-old Mthalane stopped Italian boxer Andrea Sarritzu in the seventh round to make a third defence of his crown on Friday. The contest between Mthalane and Sarritzu, 35, was held in Cagliari, Italy. "We are already talking to a promoter from the Philippines so that Moruti can make a voluntary defence against Milan Melindo," said Milenkovic. "Moruti has proved himself as a champion and has also shown that he can fight anywhere in the world. Moruti is one of the best fighters in the world and I believe he will beat Melinda when they fight in the Philippines." Meanwhile, Milenkovic has also hailed IBF junior featherweight champion Takalani "The Panther" Ndlovu, who successfully defended his belt against Mexican boxer Giovanni Caro in Mexico on Saturday. All the fight judges - Mike Fitzgerald, Fabrizzio Cid and Isaac Tshabalala - gave Ndlovu the nod despite the fact that the Soweto-born fighter was decked in the first round. This was Ndlovu's first defence of the title since dethroning Steve Molitor in Johannesburg seven months ago. "Takalani made sure that we had a big weekend in South African boxing when he won his fight against Caro. Mexican boxers are tough, especially when you fight against them in Mexico, but Takalani showed that his win against Molitor was not a fluke," said Milenkovic.
