Manyuchi made his professional debut in 2009, and won the ABU welterweight title in 2013. In 2014, he won the WBC International welterweight title against Patrick Allotey.[1] He successfully defended his WBC crown in Lusaka against Devis Caceres.[2] He was awarded the Zimbabwe's Sports Person of the Year accolade in 2014.[3] He made another successful defense of the WBC International belt against Gianluca Frezza, in the latter's native Italy.[4]
Manyuchi further advanced his career by beating Dmitry Mikhailenko in Yekaterinburg for the WBC Silver title. Manyuchi won the fight by unanimous decision (118-110, 116–114, 115–113).[5] Manyuchi's run of 17 consecutive victories came to an end against Kudratillo Abdukakhorov. Abdukakhorov proved to be too much for Manyuchi, beating him with a first round technical knockout (TKO) after dropping him twice.[6] Manyuchi mocked Abduqaxorov prior to the fight, saying that he was "in a different league" while his manager claimed they were already planning to fight for the WBC world title.[7] Abdukakhorov claimed Manyuchi was "overconfident".[8]
Manyuchi has since gone into the middleweight division and he is the current WBF Middleweight Champion after knocking out Argentina's Diego Gallardo in Harare.[9]
