Malawi lightweight boxer Nginjale Ben Chitenje on Sunday knocked out Tanzanian boxer Hassan Muhammad in round six of a 10 round non-title bout. Nginjale's triumph comes barely a month after Malawi's top boxer Wilson Masamba defeated another Tanzanian Mataslim Mwakabyabya who surrendered in the fifth round.
The Malawian boxer, who recently was in South Africa for training, fulfilled what he promised at Lilongwe Community Centre in the country’s capital by knocking him out in the sixth round.
According to the Malawi boxer, the Tanzanian was a tough opponent and that his tactics made him win the fight.
“He floored me in round five after his strong punches and I had to come back strongly in the next round,” he said.
Nginjale said he was not satisfied with the bout adding that his promoter was organizing another bout in which he is set to fight a Ugandan boxer.
In another development this year’s Lake Malawi International Yachting marathon got underway on Monday with 11 boats sailing off.
The marathon started at Malawi’s Nkopola Lodge in the country’s Southern region district of Mangochi.
Among the countries that are taking part in the event include South Africa and Botswana.
