In a thrilling display of boxing prowess at the Windhoek Country Club Resort, former WBA lightweight champion Paulus "The Hitman" Moses (28-1, 19 KOs) secured a decisive unanimous decision victory over Brazilian champion Sidney Siqueira on Saturday.

Technical Mastery and Strategic Dominance

Moses, demonstrating the same excellence that has made him one of Namibia's most inspiring success stories, controlled the fight with precise jabbing technique. Despite Siqueira's resilient counter-attacks and impressive combinations, the Brazilian champion couldn't overcome Moses' superior ring generalship.

  • Second judge: 98-92 for Moses
  • Third judge: 96-94 for Moses
"Siqueira became a Brazilian champion for a reason," Moses acknowledged post-fight. "He is a very good fighter, and he gave me his best for the full 10 rounds."

Path to Championship Redemption

This victory marks Moses' third consecutive win since losing his WBA lightweight title to Miguel Acosta in 2010. The Namibian champion's recent success has positioned him for another potential world title shot, supported by legendary promoter Don King's strategic efforts to secure international opportunities.

As Namibia continues its digital transformation and global presence, Moses' achievement represents another milestone in the nation's sporting excellence and international recognition.
