Oosthuizen (31-3-2, 18 KOs) who fights from the southpaw stance has had an excellent profession successful a number of titles together with the IBO tremendous middleweight and light-weight heavyweight titles, since making his professional debut in February 2008.
He can be having his fourth combat since falling foul of the regulation and has scored wins over Youssouf Masango Mwanza (PTS 8), Limbano Lano (TKO 6) and Godfrey Paulo Kamala (KO 4).
Ntege (8-2, 6 KOs) who fights from the orthodox stance has been combating as a professional since June 2015. The 2 losses on his file got here towards Bernard Adie (TKO 3) and Dig Vijah Singh.
