UBO Intercontinental middleweight champion Francis Cheka will make the second defence of his title on December 19 at Uhuru Stadium in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.

Cheka, 18-6-1 (12), will fight massively experienced Argentinean Enrique Areco, 43-15-7 (13), in what is sure to be a big event promoted by Prime Time Promotion.

The East African won the title last year, stopping fellow countryman Hassan Matumla, and has since defended it with a blow-out of Ramil Nadirov from Azerbaijan.

In Areco he will surely face a stern challenge.

Areco, nicknamed “El Zurdo” (“lefty”) due to his southpaw style, is a former WBC Mundo Hispano middleweight champion and former Argentinean and WBO Latino light middleweight titlist.

He made four successful defences of the WBO title before loosing a spirited challenge against that organizations world champion, Harry Simon, in the tenth round.

In his latest outing, Areco won the World Boxing Commision (not to be confused with the World Boxing Council) middleweight title, halting Paraguay’s Fermin Vargas Quinones.
