Professional career

Kaizer Mabuza made his debut at lightweight and lost by TKO of the first round to future world champion, and fellow country man Isaac Hlatshwayo, who was also making his debut on 15 February 2000.[2] He went on to win his next 9 fights 4 of them knockout. At a shot of redemption he fought again Isaac Hlatshwayo for his South African Lightweight title this time losing a twelve round unanimous decision.

Mabuza most recent fight came on 27 February 2010 in an IBF elimination bout against American Kendall Holt. Holt was a heavy favourite to win the fight, but took a severe beating from Mabuza and failed to come out of his corner for the sixth round.[3]

On 5 March 2011 Mabuza lost via 7th round TKO to Zab Judah in a fight for the vacant IBF light welterweight championship.
