His place will now be filled by Zambian super-middleweight champion Donald &#8216;Hardman&#8217; Kampamba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Force will still fight for the title,&#8221; Tobias said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_inset_a div ---><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have already spoken to the WBO to get the fight sanctioned and they said they are ready to sanction the fight. They just have to officially confirm it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Tobias, the Zambian, who has a record of ten fights with eight wins and two losses, is no slouch and packs a powerful punch. Tobias said the fighter was recommended by his trainer and manager Anthony Muamba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was not easy to find a replacement,&#8221; said Tobias. &#8220;This guy was supposed to have another fight but it did not work out so they accepted this fight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tobias said Kampamba is an unknown quantity and Shihepo will have to adapt his game on the night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The problem now is that we don&#8217;t know this guy&#8217;s style. We have never seen him fight but we heard that he is tough. Once the fight starts, then we will adapt a strategy for him. &#8216;Force&#8217; is a clever boxer so he will be able to handle him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- end story layout piece here --><\/p>\n<p><!-- close google_banner_subbody div ---><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><b>More News on allAfrica.com<\/b><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Originally posted here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201103110238.html\" title=\"Namibia: Force's Opponent Changed\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Namibia: Force&#8217;s Opponent Changed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Sheefeni Nikodemus 10 March 2011 Namibia&#8217;s super-middleweight boxer Wilberforce Shihepo will fight a new opponent during the Independence Boxing Bonanza, his promoter Nestor Tobias said yesterday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-300351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
