Kenya’s reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) Super Bantamweight champion, Fatuma ‘Iron Fist’ Zarika, has left for the UK to prepare for her rematch bout against Zambia’s Catherine Phiri slated for March 23.

The two boxers, who last fought in Kenya on December 2, 2017, are scheduled to meet again in Nairobi in a night fight event that will also feature celebrated Tanzanian Super Welterweight boxer Hassan Mwakinyo. Zarika said she will employ new skills to counter Phiri. “My previous match against Catherine was hard, so I expect a tougher match,” said Zarika.
