Boxing Federation of Kenya (BFK) President, Anthony Otieno Ombok aka Jamal, is a man of a few words.
He prefers action to do the talking for him while his opponent, Martin Luther, is known for his colourful language on social media.
On March 1, 2025, Jamal and his entire executive won the BFK elections unopposed. His opponents were so scared of Jamal’s lethal team that they opted not to challenge them.
Instead, Martin & Co went to the Sports Disputes Tribunal court challenging the elections they claimed was fraudulent with several anomalies.
The battle was now set between Jamal and Martin.
Interviewed by boxersworld.co.ke ahead of the big day, Jamal, as usual, was composed and confident of victory.
“This one will be a clean KO, I want to silence this mosquitoweight opponent, he has to know people,” said Jamal.
The fight started at a breakneck pace with Martin throwing a lot of punches that hardly reached the target. He was doing shadow boxing.
Registrar of Sports Rose Wasike gave the nod to Jamal and team, saying the elections were constitutionally okay.
Then Jamal unleashed a left uppercut which pushed Martin back to the ropes with Jamal in hot pursuit.
He uncorked a one-two punch that hurled Martin out of the ring. Luckily enough, a kind judge saved him from landing down on his head.
The punch-drunk challenger was then helped back to the ring by his seconders. By now the writing was already on the wall: he would not last the full course.
Jamal went for the kill with a flurry of combinations as his opponent buried his face under both gloves for safety.
The BFK prezo caught him with a left hook to the jaw followed by a screaming right to the solar plexus that saw Martin visit the canvas for the full count.
In one minute, 40 seconds it was all over. Jamal’s opponent was helped back to his corner and rushed to hospital for treatment.
I’m told he has now recovered – though still with a black eye – and ready for another duel with BFK’s vice-president Isaac Mbote for the leadership of Nakuru County on Saturday, March 29th.
The 1995 African Games light-heavyweight gold medallist Peter “Dynamite” Odhiambo says NaxVegas will be 🔥 fire for 🔥 fire on Saturday, March 29th.
Mbote has been in residential training promising to silence his big-talking adversary once and for all.
All roads now lead to NaxVegas for this eagerly awaited showdown to take place under tight security.
