Odero dares Sibanda ahead of gruelling battle

Kenyan pugilist Evelyne Odero has put Monalisa Sibanda of Zimbabwe on notice ahead of the World International Boxing Association (WIBA) light welterweight title fight at Treasure Garden in Kilimani, Nairobi, today.

Odera promised to give a few boxing lessons to Sibanda who has previously lost to Conjestina Achieng’ and Fatuma Zarika on the Kenyan soil.

“I am urging fans to turn up in large numbers to give me moral support,” Odera said. "I will give you value for your ticket because the battle I will give her will be severe than the one Zarika and Conje inflicted on her. I badly want to win and make Kenyans proud."

Speaking after weigh-in at Treasure Gardens, Sibanda, said: “I have come to take the belt and that is what I came for. I am a child of God ready for the fight,” Odera, the light welterweight fighter, said while holding the Bible.

In the meantime, the event’s promoter Caleb Kuya and Osaga Promotions said plans to hold the event are complete and called upon the sports' enthusiasts to turn up in large numbers.
