Nairobi is about to witness something special. On November 21st, the Iron Lady herself, Fatuma Zarika, steps back into the ring at Masshouse along Ngong Road. This is the return of a champion who has carried Kenya’s flag across continents, and she is coming back with fire in her eyes.
Zarika faces Tanzania’s Halima Vunajebi in a super featherweight showdown that represents more than national pride. It is about redemption, resilience, and reminding everyone why she remains one of Africa’s finest.
After time away from the squared circle, the queen is ready to reclaim her throne, and Kenyans are rallying behind her like never before.
What makes this night even more explosive is the historic partnership between Kala Koda Promotions and Cape Media, bringing Friday Fight Nights to a level Kenya has never experienced. Think world-class production, live entertainment, pulsating music, and storytelling that captures the raw soul of African sport.
This is boxing reimagined for the digital generation, streamed live and delivered with the kind of energy that makes you feel every punch from your screen.
The undercard is absolutely stacked. Olympic hero Rayton Okwiri takes on Uganda’s Muhamad Sebyala in a middleweight war that promises pure violence. Heavyweights Joshua Wasike and Tanzania’s Shabani Kaoneka will shake the venue with power that could wake the entire city. George Onyango battles Bariki Aibon, while UK’s Jamie Devine tests Christopher Osicho in the featherweight division.
International flavor floods the card with Lucien Botumbe from DR Congo squaring off against Tanzania’s Maisha Simon, Emmanuel Chivoli defending Kenyan honor against Ally Muenga, and UK-based Lutjani Lucas Dube facing Joshua Mutua.
South Africa’s Felix Loggenberg brings continental flair against Kenya’s Jeremie Deche. And if that is not enough, influencers Brahim Ouma and Robert Agengo will settle scores in an exhibition bout that already has Khaligraph Jones promising to pull up.
This is East African boxing announcing itself to the world. Every fighter on this card represents a dream, a community, a nation. When that opening bell rings, it is not just about individual glory. It is about showing the continent that our boxing scene can stand toe-to-toe with anyone, anywhere.
