Big talking Tanzanian boxer Karim 'Mtu Kazi' Mandonga triumphed over Kenya's Daniel Wanyonyi via TKO in the sixth round of their 10-round Super Middleweight contest at the KICC Ballroom in Nairobi on Sunday morning.

Wanyonyi was literally a pale shadow of himself as showboating Mandonga commanded the ring majestically.

Mandonga took the fight to Wanyonyi and descended on the latter with a flurry of punches that left the Kenyan clutching on thin air.

Wanyonyi had nowhere to hide as Mandonga turned him into a punching bag.

Confident Mandoga controlled the tempo of the one-sided encounter as he wanted as confused Wanyonyi shifted from one corner of the ring to the other in search of reprieve.

The triumph took Mandonga's tally to five, including three knockouts and a draw.
