Rasani lost his 64th fight on 10 December against Danny Price at Peterlee Leisure Centre in the United Kingdom.
This was 23-year-old Price’s second match and win since his debut in October when he fought Michael Tomko and won through a technical knockout.
Although Rasani was the heavier of the two, weighing in at 103kgs against Price’s 96,6, the Zimbabwean still failed to contain the young boxer.

Rasani fought through the four-round bout but lost on points after getting 36, four less than Price.
Previously Rasani had lost to Gary Cornish again on points on 2 December.
Rasani hit the canvas twice in the third round of the fight and sustained a cut above his right eye but managed to go through the eight rounds.

His latest achievement was a draw against Albert Sosnowski on 9 November at York Hall in London.
He debuted in 1997 and before he moved to the United  Kingdom had a better boxing record.
His first fight in the United Kingdom was against Neil Simpson on 2 January 2001 at Skydome, Coventry.

He lost the fight through  a technical knockout in the fourth round and lost out on  the vacant Commonwealth, British Empire, light  heavyweight title.
He is Zimbabwe’s former super middleweight and  light heavyweight champion after winning both titles twice.
He lost the light heavyweight title to Sipho Moyo on 6 October 2001 in Harare and has never won a title since then.

He only took part in one title fight in 2010.
With all these losses under his belt Rasani is ranked 362 of 1 093 in the world.
He fought Darren Stubbs   for the vacant International Masters light heavyweight  title.

Another boxer, Chamunorwa Gonorenda, lost his   fight early this month  against Vikapita Meroro of Namibia on 3 December at Windhoek Country Club in Namibia.
Gonorenda fought the eight-round match and lost on points, 72-80, 74-78 and 73-79.
This was Gonorenda’s 10th loss since his debut with seven of those being knockouts while he has also won six with four of those KOs.

Gonorenda has held the Zimbabwe cruiserweight championship after beating Arigoma Chiponda in the 12-round fight at Zambezi Valley Hotel in Kariba on 25 November 2006.
He won the fight after five rounds.

Since then he has fought in a number of international tournaments with more losses than wins.
The 28-year-old Gonorenda is ranked 293 out of 945 in the world in the cruiserweight category.

Thamsanqa Dube, whose   last fight was disappointing against Flo Simba who  floored him in the third round of an eight-round fight, was recently stripped of the WBA Pan African heavyweight championship.

Dube was grossly overweight at the time of the fight, weighing in at 122kg against a more agile 97,3kg Simba.
