The last time they shared the ring as a family, they ended up on the losing side.<\/p>\n
Now Agnes Mtimaukanena- Mwando and her husband, Brian, return to the ring Saturday hoping to open a better chapter.<\/p>\n
Three years ago when the family took to the ring together, Agnes lost to Fortunate Chidzivo, whereas Mwando was knocked out by Chimwemwe Chiotcha.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, Agnes meets Tanzanian, Marium Salitiel, in a six-round non-title welter-weight fight at Robins Park in Blantyre in the main fight.<\/p>\n
Brian will feature in the main supporting fight when he takes on Bright Mdoka in a super middle-weight fight.<\/p>\n
Agnes said she was rebuilding her career after recording two straight wins since returning from maternity break.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to dent my record. Shortly, I want to go for a title fight, hence I don\u2019t want any defeat to ruin my plans,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Agnes has two defeats, two draws and five wins. Meanwhile, boxrec.com <\/em>does not have any record for the Tanzanian boxer.<\/p>\n Brian said he was also vying for a win to restore his battered image.<\/p>\n Mwando, 23, has lost seven fights and won a similar number of fights.<\/p>\n In other fights, Henry Muyaya meet Chikondi Makawa whereas Moses Mahilasi faces Brighton Mcheni. Brighton Mwando will take on Hajison Mkoka.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, matchmaker Steve Mawenzi Msiska was confident that the Tanzanian boxer together with her trainer, Omari Yazidu, will arrive in the country by today.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, they were at Tanzanian border early [yesterday], but they should be able to arrive on time before the weigh-in session,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n In a related development, Malawi Professional Boxing Control Board (MPBCB) will use the fight to award a professional licence to Brighton Mwando and Brighton Mcheni.<\/p>\n MPBCB spokesperson, Frank Chibisa, said the pair had been participating in semi-professional fights recently.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have monitored their growth and we are delighted with their performance,\u201d Chibisa said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The last time they shared the ring as a family, they ended up on the losing side.
