Africa Boxing Union (ABU) has given heavyweight champion Joseph ‘No Pressure’ Chingangu a one month ultimatum in which to defend his belt or lose it.

ABU president Houcine Houchi said Chingangu must enter the ring before November 21 to defend his title, failure to which the belt would be declared vacant.

Houchi said on Saturday last week that Chingangu has been given enough time by ABU in which to prepare for the fight.

He said after having a successful meeting with Chingangu’s manager Davies Sinkala on Friday, they agreed on the condition given to his boxer.

He said the union would not give any chance to the boxer if he fails to fight on the given date.

Chingangu will slug it out with Adewale Abey of Nigeria in the ABU heavyweight category.

“We have given Chingangu enough time to defend his title. But if he fails this time around, the belt will be stripped and declared vacant.

“We came to a final decision after having a meeting with his manager,” Houchi said.

The ABU president was in the country to officiate last Saturday’s cruiserweight title fight between Zambia’s Charles ‘Wassaja’ Chisamba and France-based Tunisian boxer Faisal Ibnel El Arrami.
