Moyo will trade leather in the heavy weight division while Venganai will be fighting in the junior lightweight division in 10-round bouts set for Cape Town’s Southern Sun Cape Sun Hotel.
Also on the same night, another Zimbabwean Tapiwa Tembo will be involved in a six round non-title against Daniels Julies in the super bantamweight division.
Tembo said he will be using the fight to prepare for the rescheduled December 22 WBU world title fight against Zambia’s Gibon Kamota.
“This is a fight to correct mistakes before the December 22 fight in Harare,” he said.
Meanwhile, Deltaforce Boxing Promotions has lined up a number of international supporting bouts for the Unity Day WBU world title fight.
The bouts will see Tinei Maridzo taking on Malawi’s Musa Awadhi in a 12- round bout with lightweight boxer Takudzwa Kuchocha taking on Namibia’s Fadhili Awadhi.
