In that fight in Greyville Convention Center in Durban, South Africa, Buthelezi was winning the fight, as he hit Mntungwa several times, who almost fell out of the ring; after that, the 24-year-old South African boxer lost consciousness and started throwing punches into the aireven some of them were first directed at the referee, believing that he was their rival.
