MALAWI Professional Boxing Control (MPBC) Board has finally cleared Malawi-based Zimbabwean boxer, Brian Mwando, to fight in the country again after paying K50,000 fine.<\/p>\n
Mwando was slapped with an indefinite suspension in March for allegedly putting the sport in disrepute after he protested against majority decision when he lost to Charles Misanjo.<\/p>\n
The boxer, who married local female boxer Agnes Mtimaukanena, was fined K50,000. He was also advised to renew his licence at K5,000 as the initial one was revoked.<\/p>\n
MPBCB spokesperson, Frank Chibisa, said they would monitor Mwando\u2019s behaviour during and after fights. \u201cHe has fulfilled all the requirements and he is free to fight.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, we hope that he has transformed. Boxing is a sport that needs serious minds,\u201d he said. Alufandika Boxing Promotions manager, Abraham Nyirongo, said<\/p>\n
they were relieved to have the licence renewed. \u201cWe are opening a new chapter and discipline is paramount,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Mwando said he was ready to turn a new leaf and would strive to go for a knock-out. \u201cI am relieved that I will finally fight. It has been difficult period for me as I never knew that I would fight again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Mwando will face Baraka Mwankansope who also fought against Misanjo, Felix Mwamaso and Rascos Mwanza. In supporting fight, Ruth Chisale will take on Ellen Simwanza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
