Boxer Wanyonyi vows to avenge Madonga’s defeat on July 22nd
By Fred Maingi
Kenya’s Boxer Daniel Wanyonyi has promised to avenge the defeat he suffered in the hands of Tanzania’s Karim Madonga.
Wanyonyi admitted he had not prepared adequately in their first engagement staged at the K. I. C. C but vowed to prove him wrong come July 22, 2023 for the main light heavy weight bout.
“When we enter the ring, there will be no friendship but for now i welcome him in Kenya as a great friend but on July 22nd,there will be no friendship when we climb the podium” Observed Wanyonyi.
He added in Kiswahili, “Niko na dawa ya Sungunyo, nimekuwa Russia live sio mtandaoni kama mwenzangu anavyodai Atajua kwa nini Kanga hana manyoya kwa kichwa. Akijikaza sana atafika roundi ya tatu pekee.”
Nevertheless, his Tanzanian counterpart Karim “Mtukazi” Mandonga disclosed that he has come with a new formation or style called “Kikuki” that targets on demolishing any opponent in the early stages of the bout and reduce him to be visionless.
Mandonga who is well known with his Sungunyo phrase surprisingly referred Kenya as his fathers home while terming his native country Tanzania as his mothers Land.
“Ninaleta heshima Kenya , tutakula pamoja chakula Gikomba kwa sababu Kenya ndio Baba na Tanzania ndio mama mzazi. Nimekuja na mbinu mpya zinajulikana kama “Kikuki” ambayo haina msamaha, inatoboa na kufanya mwili kuisha Nguvu mapema, mtuombee uzima, nguvu, maelekezo na uongo, itajulikana”noted Mtukazi.
Ultra Fight Series (UFS) promoter Mauruce Odera who is credited for promoting over nine fights said he has four other major fights on the card before the end of the year.
“I ave alot in store for our boxers, my main aim is market our local fighters and open greener pastures for them . I do things properly in terms of paying their purse and honouring our agreement” he noted.
KPBC president Reuben Ndolo said he has confidence with the promoter who has demonstrated he has passion for the sport having promoted several earlier bouts with no complains from any quarter.
“Ours is to regulate and ensure they follow the law. The promoter is required to deposit money for the referees,and boxers before the fight. We dont want issues to come up later” Ndolo said.
Over seven bouts will be staged on July 22 featuring boxers from hosts Kenya neighbours Uganda, Tanzania and DRC Congo. While the main Light heavy weight featuring Tanzania’s Mandonga is a 10 round bout, the rest will be six-rounds respectively
