Willy “The Ring Tiger” Kyakonye is set to defend his World Boxing Federation (WBF) heavyweight title against Renke “Drago” Wittke, Germany’s undefeated WBF Intercontinental heavyweight champion, on October 20, 2025, at the Theatre Carre Arena in Amsterdam.
Kyakonye (11-0-0, 10 KOs) will face Wittke (6-0-0, 6 KOs) in a 12-round thriller, with both fighters unbeaten and only one able to leave with their perfect record intact.
He expressed respect for Wittke but emphasized his determination to win, citing his rigorous training and experience, including competing in the World Series of Boxing.
Wittke poses a formidable challenge with six knockout wins, making him a force to be reckoned with in the ring.
The fight is part of the Ben Bril Memorial night, honoring the youngest Dutch Olympian who boxed in the 1928 Olympic Games.
A win for Kyakonye would place him alongside legendary Ugandan boxers like Ayub Kalule and John “The Beast” Mugabi, who successfully defended their world titles in the past.
