As a result of twelve rounds two judges gave it 115-113 to Oosthuizen and 114-114. Thus, Oosthuizen successfully returned to the ring after almost a year and a half years layoff and made his debut in a new weight category - the heavyweights. The title of African Boxing Union champion was at stake.
In the next fight, Oosthuizen may meet his compatriot, the owner of a secondary IBO title in the cruiserweights Kevin Lerena.
