Ahmed Abdulrahim from Egypt won the vacant
Universal
Boxing Organization™
All-Africa Super Featherweight title on
Thursday, September 29, when he defeated
fellow countryman Ahmed Moustafa at Becho,
Zahraa Maadi in Cairo.

With the
Egyptian national title also up for grabs,
Abdulrahim out-classed Mostafa down the stretch,
in the main event of a show promoted by Richard
Nwoba and Louaa Boxing, and was deservedly
awarded a clear unanimous decision after ten
entertaining rounds.
Judge
Mohamed Daf scored it 99-93, judge Hassom Radar
scored 99-95 and judge Louaa Mohsen Debes scored
100-95. Third man in the ring was referee Lophye
Debes.

The new
UBO Champion, 31 years old, broke a two-fight
losing stretch and improved his professional
record to 8-2 (2), while 24-year-old Moustafa
drops to 4-2 (1).
By also
winning the Egyptian national Super
Featherweight title, Abdulrahim becomes the
first Egyptian boxer to hold national titles in
two weight-classes at the same time, as he won
the Super Bantamweight version earlier this
year.
