DINGAAN Thobela, the Rose of Soweto, will miss out on the chance to claim a third world-title after a freak accident forced him out of his WBF middleweight title challenge in London on Friday. Thobela’s trainer Thinus Strydom said Thobela injured his hand during a sparring session during the week and after consulating a doctor has been sdvised to withdraw from his fight against Englishman Steve Roberts. Strydom said that Thobela’s injured right hand will not hold out for a full 12-rounds, and he will probably only be able to box for four rounds.
