Chellan heads into this match-up on a three-fight winning streak after failing to capture the vacant South African Welterweight Championship in September 2025. At Fright Night, ‘Kleurling’ looks to capture the first title of his professional career.
Achebi will enter Fright Night riding a two-fight winning streak, and this will mark the first title fight of his professional career. If victorious, Achebi could make history as the first Kenyan to claim the ABU Welterweight Title.
