1996 — Sakhumzi Magxwalisa becomes the first South African boxer  to win a world title in Thailand, stopping  Chaosingthong Chalermsri in the second round to lift the marginal WBU junior-bantamweight belt in Bangkok. Magxwalisa, 20, went into the bout with a record of nine wins and one defeat, which he had suffered in his previous outing. But his reign was shortlived, losing the belt outside the ring after he was found unconscious and needing medical attention in the lead-up to his first defence, also in Thailand. He was said to have been drained from weight loss. He moved up to junior-lightweight for his next bout nine months later, nearly 7kg heavier. ..
