Joshua Feldman to Fight Henry Muyaya on September 20

Junior middleweight Joshua Feldman is scheduled to fight Henry Muyaya at Box Camp Booysens in Johannesburg, South Africa on July 20. The card is being promoted by Boxing 5 Promotions and will be shown on Vision View and DAZN.

The 20 year old Feldman hails from Cape Town where he starts his training camps at Blood, Sweat, and Tears boxing gym. He finishes camp at the Hot Box Gym in Jo'burg under the tutelage of Colin Nathan. Feldman last fought on March 8 when he won by second round TKO. That showing improved his record to 3-0 with one KO. The southpaw was scheduled to fight on July 13, but his opponent pulled out at the last moment.

Henry Muyaya is from Blantyre, Malawi and holds a record of 1-6 with one KO. Feldman was just four years old when Muyaya won his debut in his hometown in 2008. Muyaya lost in Malawi the following year and then took off six years before losing in Malawi again.


Muyaya then took another six years off, but has been more active recently. He has fought four times, all in South Africa, since 2021. Henry has come in as heavy as super middleweight and has been stopped in his last three bouts.

Muyaya holds some advantages over Feldman: he's more experienced, has grown-man strength, and is the naturally bigger man. But Feldman is far more skilled. Muyaya should provide exactly the test Feldman needs at this juncture of his young career.
