An orchestra of roars and cheers explodes at Kasarani Indoor Arena as Kenya’s Liz Andiego carries the fight to DR Congo’s burly Marie Joelle Mwika.
Inspired by the deafening noise of the home crowd, Andiego’s ruthless combinations land with an audible crunch igniting ecstatic screams in this gruelling and emotional light-heavyweight final grudge bout in which Marie had vowed to teach the battle-hardened Andiego painful boxing lessons infront of her home fans.
With a multitude of eyes fixed on the ring and deafening roars from Nairobi-based DRC fans including her teammates, Marie Joelle fights back, drawing her strength from the cheering DRC fans. She uncorks a poisonous right cross that pushes back Andiego amidst chants of beta ye makasi (beat her hard), bakisa ba coup (use combinations).
