When he realised that Misanjo was leading, he decided to hit our boxer behind his head. It was an unfortunate incident because the referee and judges missed it. Instead of fighting on, Misanjo just retired. I felt Misanjo could have retaliated by coming tough and rough as well instead of retiring,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rousseau said Misanjo would not be given another international fight unless he changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe let us down when we felt that he could win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi Professional Boxing Control Board president, Lonzoe Zimba, said they were qually disappointed with Misanjo\u2019s retirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s something which we need to critically analyse. It also happened in 2010 when he retired from a bout he was dominating against Osgood Kayuni. It seems old habits die hard. You cannot give away a fight you are dominating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Misanjo told the Namibian press that he was confused and did not know what was happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former welterweight champion, Charles Misanjo, risks missing international fights after controversially retiring during an international fight against Congolese boxer, Mbiya Nkaku, in Zambia last week.
