Tanzanian boxer Karim Mandonga, widely known as Mandonga Mtu Kazi, experienced a devastating defeat in his latest match against the seasoned Ugandan boxer Moses Golola, leaving him disappointed once again.
The highly anticipated bout took place in Mwanza, Tanzania, on July 29, culminating in Mandonga’s defeat by Technical Knockout, making it the second consecutive setback for him, following his loss to Daniel Wanyonyi from Kenya in a previous fight.
Golola displayed his remarkable skills in the ring, overpowering Mandonga and securing a Technical Knockout victory in the third round. The match generated immense excitement among fans, witnessing Golola’s dominance over his opponent.
In a surprising twist, Mandonga attributed his loss to witchcraft. He confessed that he had closely observed Golola from the weigh-in, but found it challenging to comprehend his opponent’s fighting style. This led him to believe that he was battling supernatural forces during the match, particularly after spotting objects resembling items used in witchcraft.
Addressing his supporters, Mandonga expressed his bewilderment about the fight and admitted, “My opponent had objects that looked like items which are normally used by witches. So losing that fight is just normal, but I can say I fought against dark forces, and how I went down on the canvas, I can’t tell.”
Despite the unconventional explanation, Mandonga remained dedicated to his fans and reassured them of his unwavering determination. He declared his resolve to persevere in future encounters, regardless of the challenges he may face, even if it means confronting supernatural elements in the ring.
This recent loss adds to Mandonga’s somewhat unfavorable professional record, standing at six wins, four losses, and three draws. His previous defeat against Daniel Wanyonyi of Kenya delivered another blow to his boxing career when he was knocked out in the fifth round of a non-title fight.
As Mandonga reflects on his recent setbacks, he faces a crucial juncture in his boxing journey, seeking to regain his form and rise above the challenges that lie ahead.
