According to reports, the undefeated Simiso Buthelezi stepped inside the ring against Siphesihle Mntungwa at the Greyville Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa, for the WBF African Lightweight title.
The fight began, as usual, and the pair began exchanging blows to claim the title. In round 10, Buthelezi charged at his opponent, pushing the latter on the ropes. While stepping back, Mntungwa caught the chin of Buthelezi with a hard jab, which produced a horrifying effect on the brain of Buthelezi as he went out of his senses.
When the referee intervened and pushed the fighters to continue in the middle of the ring, Buthelezi began throwing punches in the air in the opposite direction of his opponent. He continued this until he approached an empty corner in an unconscious state.

Another fan added that the short jab of the opponent caused something inside the brain of the fighter, Buthelezi, who seemingly lost all his senses.
This is insane! That short punch he ate must have sent his mind into another dimension because something in his motherboard told him to attack Casper the ghost. Never seen that happen before in a fight 😬

Another fan added this entire incident with the hot weather conditions of Africa.
Dude almost went terminator on the ref. Holyyyyyy. Damn that's so weird how that happened. Was it heat exhaustion or something? Cuz he didn't get hit but he kinda fell forward into the ropes. Africa is hot n idk if this venue has ac. Cuz this was a bizarre reaction.

Second angle looks like he did take a hard shot right before the guy went through the ropes.

Absolutely terrifying. This is why I don’t denigrate any person who steps in the ring. I hope my bro is alright.
