Image caption: Madonga and Wanyonyi will fight tomorrowKarim Madonga nicknamed mtu kazi has a huge following in East Africa and is known for his over the top boasts of his boxing ability.
In his last fight he described his punch as a"heat-seeking missile". Now before Saturday's bout, he compared his punch to a"Ukrainian missile".He drew crowds as he walked around the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. “I have been received well in Kenya. I started boxing in 2002, boxing has made me a brand. Boxing took me to the city. I am the only boxer who became a star after losing a fight. And when I am beaten I talk about it, when I win, I talk more about it. In boxing you have to know how to talk and fight. I know both. Wanyonyi will be beaten,” Mandonga told BBC Sport Africa.“His talk makes him popular. We love such boxers. I am good at boxing, he is good at talking.
Their fight will serve as a curtain raiser for the main fight between Kenyan boxer Rayton Okwiri and Tanzanian boxer Ally Ndaro. A total of 11 fights will take place at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre . Organisers are hoping that the event will raise the profile of the sport which has waned over the years.
