“Zuzuk went into the ring to do shadow boxing through pad work after watching Anisha’s fight against Ruth Chisale. Fans were mesmerized and she promised for a fight and the day will come to pass on Sunday,” Chiliza said.
The promoter said the American had been training hard in readiness for the fought.
“I recently visited in the gym and she is really serious about this bout. She has since promised to bring more supporters from American Community in Malawi,” he said.

Robert Kachiza should expect a tough time against the Zimbabwean who has a pedigree in the game having won Africa Youth Games boxing gold in Lesotho, bronze at 2010 Zone VI Games besides being China 2008 Olympic Games boxer.
