World class Tanzanian Mbwana
”African Golden Boy” Matumla,
19-4 (11), will defend his
Universal Boxing Organization
Inter-Continental Bantamweight
title on April 18 at the PTA Hall
in his hometown of Dar Es
Salaam.
This was confirmed recently by
UBO All-Africa Commissioner
Emmanuel Mlundwa.
Matumla will fight former
African champion, and current
Ugandan titlist, Sande Kizito
who is coming off four straight
knockout victories. Kizito,
12-8-1 (5), will be the underdog
entering the ring, but will find
encouragement from his recent
activity and from looking back
at good performances against
world class names such as Vic
Darchinyan, Tabtimdaeng Na
Rachawat and Hussein Hussein.
The reigning champion won the
UBO title in December 2009 when
he stopped another Ugandan,
Festus Omondi, in the fifth
round of a cracking fight
promoted by Joseph Kusaga and
his Prime Time Promotions.
Mr. Kusaga will also stage the
Matumla vs. Kizito bout, and
there are hopes that a second
UBO title fight can be added to
the bill.
