Noni Tenge (born 1982) is a South African former professional boxer. She became the first woman from her country to win a professional boxing world championship when she claimed the IBF female welterweight title by knocking out defending champion Daniella Smith in the fourth-round at Carnival City in Brakpan, South Africa, on 11 June 2011.[2][3] She was stripped of the title in July 2012 for failing to defend the belt within the required time period.[4][5]

Tenge fought Layla McCarter for the WBA female light-middleweight title at Orient Theatre, East London, South Africa, on 30 September 2012, but lost by technical knockout in the eighth-round.[6]
