MTK target unification fights for new world champion signing Moruti Mthalane

MTK Global is delighted to confirm the signing of IBF world flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane to MTK Africa.

The heavy-hitting ‘Babyface’ (37-2, 25 KOs) has joined the world’s leading boxing management team ahead of making the second defence of his title against Masayuki Kuroda in Japan on May 13. He retained the strap in his first defence back in December.

South Africa’s Mthalane, who is trained by Head of MTK Africa Colin Nathan, said: “Since I have joined Colin, my career and life have changed for the better.

“When I heard Colin was becoming Head of MTK Africa, it was a natural move for me to sign for MTK Global because they are by far the best management company in the world.

“I have reclaimed the IBF title I never lost in the ring and now I’m looking forward to great things with my new company.”

Nathan added: "This is another landmark deal and we’re so proud to welcome one of the all-time great South African fighters to MTK Africa.

“While Moruti’s achievements have been outstanding, we believe there’s so much more to come and the help and backing of MTK Global ensures all his efforts will be channelled correctly.

“Myself and Moruti are delighted to be working with the best management company in the world and look forward to more success. Unification fights are inevitable and this brings them closer."
