MARCH 6 - 2007.

BY UBO PRESS OFFICER.

Universal Boxing Organization world bantamweight champion Nick “Kanyankole” Otieno retained his title on Saturday March 3, with a convincing seventh round stoppage of local rival Twalib Mubiru at the ballroom of the Grand Regency Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. 

This was a hotly antisipated rematch, as Otieno captured the vacant belt last year with a very close split decision over Mubiru.

The fight started at a high pace, with the two going toe-to-toe but with Otieno the most effective. He rattled Mubiru already in the first round, and seemed determined not to let this bout go to the scorecards. He continued his dominance as the fight progressed, and in the seventh referee Wycliffe Marende had seen enough and stepped in to save the brave Mubiru, who was stopped on his feet.

With the victory Otieno improved his undefeated record to 10-0 (2), and he continues to be a proud asset for the UBO. The show was promoted by Osaga Promotions in cooperation with Jab Jab Promotions.
