Rising South African Super Middleweight Thomas Oosthuizen, coming off a scintillating decision over American Aaron Pryor, Jr on the undercard of the widely watched HBO broadcast of Andre Berto's comeback over Jan Zaveck, has been called back to the US by promoter Lou DiBella to make another appearance on one of his shows before the end of the year.
"Tommy Gun" as the 22 year old is known, impressed US fans with his style and determination two weeks ago in his US debut ignoring a massive cut as he outpunched the son of legendary Super Lightweight great Aaron Pryor in defense of his IBO belt, remaining unbeaten in seventeen fights. Pryor, coming off a June win against recent world title contender Librado Andrade and with high hopes of landing a major world title shot, must regroup with his fourth loss in twenty matches.
An undercard match saw another son-of-a-legend, that of former African Super Bantamweight and Commonwealth Featherweight champion Modest Napunyi of Kenya, also end up with an unsuccessful outing as US-based Anthony Napunyi suffered a TKO in the third round by unbeaten Puerto Rican hope Luis Orlando Del Valle, appearing in his fourteenth paid fight. The Kenyan , now a Florida resident drops his seventh in a row and now stands at 14-11.
