The Kasai-Oriental Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo produces a lot of good boxers. Some of the biggest names in D.R.C. boxing history come from this region, and former UBO International Cruiserweight title-challenger Kabuya Aggry (Pictured) is considered one of the very best.

 
 

Since losing a unanimous decision to Matamba Postolo for the UBO title in Mbuji-Mayi in July 2010, Aggry has realized that everything has a time. There was a time for fighting, and now there is a time to stop fighting and become a coach for the D.R.C. national amateur team, which needs his many years of experience to develop young boxers.  
 

But on August 6 at the Stade Tchikisha in Mbuji-Mayi Kabuya Aggry will step in the ring one last time. In his farewell fight, Aggry will take on Samba Hurcus from Congo-Brazzaville over eight rounds on the same show as another local hero, Djenny Lukusa, squares off with Douglas Chilembe from Zambia for the UBO All-Africa Heavyweight title.
 

Staged under the high patronage of provincial governor, the honorable Alfonse Ngoyi Kasanji, the Lukusa vs. Chilembe fight will be the first ever All-Africa title fight in the Kasai-Oriental Province. In his last fight Lukusa lost on a second round technical knockout to Matamba Postolo when a broken right hand made it impossible for him to continue.
 

Now Lukusa wants to show the very sports-interested governor that he is very much able to do the province and entire country proud inside the boxing ring. Ngoyi Kasanji was present for the Lukusa vs. Postolo fight, and never misses a boxing show when he is not travelling.
 

Governor Ngoy Kasanji will not only be representing the Kasai-Oriental province on August 6. Since the main event fight will be D.R.C. against Zambia, he will also be representing president Joseph Kabila who wants to see the flag of the republic flying high at big sporting events like this.

The fight-card will be promoted by Mukadi Manda with the cooperation of Kasai-Oriental Sports Minister Mr. Crispin Ngoy and the help of the governor. As has often been the case in the past, airline Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) is sponsoring the show. UBO Supervisor will be president of the D.R.C. Boxing Commision Claude Kaninda.
 

The undercard will feature another interesting international match-up, as Kabangu Sartana of D.R.C. squares off with Kibongoui Loukoji from Congo-Brazaville in an eight-round light welterweight contest.
