“WHAT LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT”, AS KING MATAMBA AIMS HIGHER AT THE “Fists of Steel” On 21 September 2019 @ The Palace Of Dreams”
Letter from Moshi, the land of Kilimanjaro and Mkomazi Aug. 29th, 2019
KING Marius Matamba, who captured the IBF Continental Africa Jr. Welterweight title at the Emperors Palace on February 2019, has experienced a meteoric rise in basically every possible metric of the Sweet Science. Being the continent’s IBF Continental Jr. Welterweight KING when it comes to boxing, he does it in fashion. Pundits has it that KING Matamba’s ring artistry of the sport of boxing is akin to that of Oscar De Lahoya, the boyish boxer who emulated both Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard in his meteoric rise in the Sweet Science.
Matamba’s background echoing “Ali Boma Ye”, the chant that made Muhammad Ali an African hero in the “Rumble in the Jungle” which was defining moment of boxer’s career and made Ali a cult hero on the continent when he met the larger than life George Foreman, gives impression of the man who will go places. Like, De Lahoya, Matamba has the charming of the Princes of boxing as he attracts both friends and foes in equal major.
Initially, his campaign to capture the Africa’s most prestigious crown, the IBF Continental Jewel struggled to gain traction amid competitions from his opponents but, Matamba cut through in the middle by taking the crown in style at the Emperors Palace courtesy of the Golden Gloves owned and managed by Rodney Bergman. As the native of DRC Congo’s perfect heritage and his eagerness to become the sport’s top-dog in his division, KING Marius Matamba is not the man to quit.
But it is this fury and the fire under his strong punch-line that has fallen many of his opponents to date. Matamba proved his detractors wrong by fully embracing the role of the successful and discipline champions after he won the IBF Continental Africa crown and now he is aiming at unifying both IBF and WBA Africa’s continental titles.
Matamba’s unique and decisive punch line, scares his opponents almost in every imaginable encounter and he is capable of handling any crisis, rolling out from those he met in the ring as he laughingly says “I’ve got a plan for that” as he annihilate his opponents. The Recreational KING Matamba isn’t just an ordinary boxer per se, but the world champion in waiting.
His battle for the SOUL of Africa’s Jr, Welterweight against Jubulani Makhense who hold the WBA Pan Africa Jr. Welterweight Title in the “Fists Of Steel” On 21 September 2019 @ The Palace Of Dreams” is akin to that of first Sugar Ray Leonard against Mavin Hagler in 1984 and has elicited great fan fare from boxing fans all over Africa. The two combatants have powers and techniques to win the crown and if one of them blink even for a second, he losses the unification crown, pronto.
It is this realization that KING Matamba, the IBF Continental Africa Jr. Welterweight champion will enter the ring on September 21st to allay fears of both his supporters and critics alike that he is truly the Africa champion to beat.
Rodney Berman has been one of the powerful promoters in the world in the couple of decades and he is the only Africa promoter who has muscles to promote titles anywhere in the world. He has definitely monopolizes his base at the Emperors Palace, the gambling hub with the taste of Las Vegas and Macau that gives revelers their money worthy on the tables and machines.
Berman’s power in the promotion of boxing as the professional sport is unmatched by his competitors when it come to international organizations. As an Attorney at Law, he understand the game better than his competitors and he has managed to secure his chunk of promotions deep in Africa and Europe where he promotes in the French’s autonomous Municipality of Monaco revered for its opulence and exotic holidays.
The September 21st’IBF Continental Africa and WBA Pan Africa’s Jr. Welterweight Unification Diadem would be on record as majors bodies in the world try to work together to promote the winner take it all fashion.
They call it Africa! We call it Home!
