The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as Kenyan boxer Daniel Wanyonyi and Tanzanian pugilist Karim Mandonga prepare to face off once again within the hallowed ring at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi on Saturday 22nd evening.
Their first meeting lived upto billing when Mandonga defeated Wanyonyi in front of a noisy Kenyan crowd. The Tanzanian is promising fans nothing but the best. The outspoken Mandonga Mtu Kazi says this time he will be unleashing a jab called King’uki from Russia and not his usual Sugunyo from Ukraine.
“I have prepared well. My homework is on point. I am very fit. We have to defeat Wanyonyi whether he likes it or not. The last time we fought, I finished him with a Sugunyo jab from Ukraine. This time, I will clear him with a King’uki blow from Russia. King’uki is very offensive. It neither retreats nor surrenders,” Mandonga told Mozzart Sport in an interview.
The Tanzanian also issued a warning to Wanyonyi, noting that he would have a sweltering day in the ring.
“What I know is that he is going to have a torrid day in the ring. What I don’t know is whether the fight will end in the first round or second round, or whether I will finish him with a knock out,” he warned his opponent.
Wanyonyi on the other hand appeared confident despite the warning from his opponent. He noted that he had come back stronger, ready to unleash the unforgiving ‘Dusla’ blow on Mandonga who he said would ‘see stars’.
He assured that he would not let down thousands of fans that would turn up for the clash.
“Dusla is a blow which is not recommended by a doctor. But I am going to unleash it in raw form. Mandonga will see stars,” he told Mozzart Sport.
