DonJuan van Heerden, new ABU Champion

South Africans DonJuan van Heerden and Dean Promnick clashed for the African Boxing Union (ABU) middleweight title at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, South Africa.

DonJuan dominated and broke down Promnick, boxing with confidence and sticking to a gameplan that was as simple as it was effective.

His high-pressure game proved telling and when Promnick was pulled out at the end of the 10th round, it came as little surprise. He was well beaten.

Van Heerden won the ABU middleweight championship and added real vigour to a career that had somewhat stalled.
