Malawi Defence Force boxer, Wilson Masamba, has intensified preparations ahead of his non-title bout against Zimbabwean Richard Muriri at M1 Centre Point in Lilongwe on March 26.
Masamba said he was ready for his first international bout this year.
“I am in camp preparing for the fight and I am not scared of any opponent. I want to give my fans a 2017 gift and they should come in large numbers. I thank Galasasi Engineering for organising the bout,” said the boxer, who boasts of 27 wins and 11 losses.
Muliri has won 27 bouts and lost 10.
In his last international bout, Masamba defeated Tanzanian Muddy Elia at the same venue.
The experienced Malawian boxer is being drilled by his elder brother and trainer John Masamba.
In the main supporting bouts, another Zimbabwean, Tinashe Mwadziwana will meet veteran Jobson Adam whereas Chimwemwe Chiotcha will slug it out against Juma Jack.
Malawi Boxing Association (Maba) professional wing has sanctioned the bouts.
The wing’s Chairperson, Daudi Chikwanje, said preparations for the bout were at an advanced stage.
“People should expect a classic tournament. We have brought in reputable boxers for the fight,” Chikwanje said.
Last month, Maba’s professional wing also sanctioned a fight involving Mussa Ajibu and Ramadhan Kaminja.
