MORRIS OKOLLA, JANE KAVULANI FIGHT TODAY IN PRAGUE

Morris “Hercules” Okolla (13-4-0, 10 KOs) is convinced his Czech Republic opponent, Lukas Fajk (10-1-0), will not last the full course in tonight’s fight in Prague.

“I will knock him out in the third round, I looked at him during the face-off he’s so scared of me,” Okolla told boxersworld.co.ke from their five-star hotel ahead of his heavyweight duel against the Czech Republic boxer.

Okolla last fought in September last year outpointing Louis Cedric of Mauritius in a six rounder.

“We’ve been welcomed well, the atmosphere is fantastic,” said the southpaw Okolla, a former international boxer who won gold in the 2005 Zone Five Championships in Nairobi.

Okolla, who is the younger to former international and now Prisons coach Dan Shisia, made his professional debut on November 11, 2011, defeating James Nyariki.

The other Kenyan in action tonight, Jane Kavulani (19-18-5, 7 KOs), battles home girl Fabiana Bytyqib (21-1-2, 5 KOs) in a six rounds bantamweight fight.

Kavulani last fought in Germany in June last year losing to Elina Tissen via an eigth round TKO.

The Kenyan turned pro in June, 2002, and in her debut lost to Tanzania’s Monica Mwakasanga who decisioned her in a six rounds bout that was supposed to be four rounds since Kavulani was making her pro debut.

The two Kenyan boxers are accompanied by the Secretary-General of the Kenya Professional Boxing Commission (KPBC) Franklin Imbenzi.
