Mthalane won the vacant IBO flyweight crown at the International Convention Centre earlier this year.

Mthalane, a former IBF flyweight world champion, beat Jether Oliva of the Philippines on points at the ICC in March.

He will be defending the IBO crown against Mexican, Odilane Zaleta, at the same venue in Durban next Sunday.

Mthalane has a professional record of 30 wins and two defeats.

His last defeat was in 2008.

That is when Mthalane lost to multiple world champion Nonito Donaire.

They fought in Las Vegas.

Chatsworth heavyweight, Mark Soobramoney, will also feature on the ICC bill next weekend.
