The Namibian dominated the fight from the first round and proved his class with great combination of punches as MTC Salute Boxing Academy staged what they described as a successful event.
"I am happy to have won and would like to thank God and Salute for the opportunity. I knew I was going to do it because I was well prepared.
"I would also like to thank my sponsors and MTC for making this possible," Nghutenanye said.
The boxer further lauded his supporters and training team for making sure he delivered. He added that he hopes to build on the victory to acquire bigger titles in the near future.
