Hokonya, who used to box from Chitungwiza has shifted base to Johannesburg, South Africa, from where he is pursuing a new discipline under the tutelage of renowned Zimbabwean Mixed Martial Arts fighter, Temba Gorimbo, a former EFC welterweight champion.

The 24-year–old was announced winner via a unanimous points decision over South African Majuba, who now has three losses in four fights.

Another Zimbabwean Tapiwa “The Mighty Warrior” Katikati also won on the night when he forced Zambian Robert Simbowe into submission, via the Guillotine choke.
