Zolani Tete portrait

Who Zolani Tete was

Zolani Tete was a South African two-weight world boxing champion, nicknamed "Last Born." He held the IBF junior-bantamweight (super-flyweight) title (2014–2015) and the WBO bantamweight title (2017–2019), and still holds a Guinness World Record for the fastest knockout in a world title fight (11 seconds vs Siboniso Gonya, 2017). On 21 August 2026 he was ambushed outside his home in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape: two balaclava-clad gunmen opened fire while he waited in his car for the gate to open. Tete was declared dead at the scene at age 38; a 27-year-old woman in the vehicle was wounded and hospitalized. He had recently completed a UK Anti-Doping ban (ended 29 July 2026) and was training for a planned comeback.
