Mzuzu-based boxer, Felix Mwamaso, says he is determined to defeat Brian Mwando during an eight-round non-title rematch on Sunday at M1 Centrepoint in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
The two met early this year during a middleweight bout, with Mwando emerging victorious.<\/p>\n
However, despite preparing for the fight, Mwamaso seems to have little knowledge that it is a non-title contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am ready to get back my belt on Sunday. Mwando should know that I am preparing for him and I am training hard. That belt (middleweight) belongs to the Northern Region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mwamaso made the challenge on Monday during a training session at Mzuzu Stadium.<\/p>\n

His trainer, Gabriel Kondowe, said he was optimistic that his boxer would win.<\/p>\n
However, Kondowe bemoaned the lack of convenient boxing facilities for training and promotions in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere our promoters no longer organise bouts, thereby rendering our boxers idle. However, the idleness will not affect Mwamaso\u2019s fight against Mwando because he has trained hard,\u201d Kondowe said.<\/p>\n
Don King Boxing Promotion Managing Director, Antonio Dzilimbire, said they expect a good rematch on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time they met, Mwamaso complained that he did not have enough time to train, but now he is prepared up to a point that Mwando was reluctant to fight with him,\u201d Dzilimbire said.<\/p>\n
The Northern Region pugilist has 16 wins and seven losses out of 23 bouts.<\/p>\n
Mwamaso has been out of action for months, whereas Mwando beat Charles Misanjo in Blantyre a fortnight ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
