Moruti Mthalane (born 6 October 1982) is a South African professional boxer. He is a two-time IBF flyweight champion, having held the title from 2009 to 2014 and 2018 to April 2021. He also held the IBO flyweight title from 2014 to 2017.On 5 July 2009, Mthalane's promoter Branco Milenkovic revealed that Mthalane was designated by the IBF as the mandatory challenger for Nonito Donaire IBF flyweight title. Before the terms of the fight could be negotiated however, Donaire vacated the title and moved up to super flyweight. Accordingly, the IBF ordered a fight between Eric Ortiz and Julio Cesar Miranda to determine who would fight Mthalane for the vacant title, with Miranda winning by a first-round knockout. The fight for the vacant world title was scheduled for 20 November 2009, and was held at the Wembley Indoor Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mthalane won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 117-111, 117-111 and 118-111. He became the third South African fighter in 2009 to win a major IBF title.On 1 March 2010, Zolani Tete was designated as the IBF flyweight mandatory title challenger after defeating Richard Garcia by unanimous decision in an IBF flyweight title eliminator. The IBF flyweight world title fight between Mthalane and Tete was scheduled for 1 September 2010, at the Carnival City in Brakpan, South Africa. Mthalane won the fight by knockout, stopping Tete at the 2:27 minute mark of the fifth round.Mthalane made his second IBF title defense against Johnriel Casimero on 26 March 2011 at the Nasrec Indoor Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mthalane won the fight by a fifth-round technical knockout. The bout was high in both pace and volume from the beginning, with Casimero fading as the fight went on, before he stopped defending himself effectively in the fifth round.
