Over the years African Boxing has been seen as the poor relative when it comes to Global audiences for professional boxing from the Continent. America and Europe have dominated the scene it seems forever, but that had already began to change, mivel újabban a Közel-Kelet került előtérbe a nagy események megrendezésével, amelyek felkeltik a globális érdeklődést.

Alig több mint egy hét múlva Boxing Afrikából, visszarohan a helyszínre, elhatározva, hogy olyan hatást vált ki, hogy a sport rajongói is a kontinens felé kezdenek váltani.

Az afrikai ökölvívás történelmileg vonzotta a globális közönséget, aki el tudta felejteni, hogy minden idők egyik legnagyobb küzdelme zajlott Afrikában. Vissza októberben 1974 a világ szeme Zaire-re szegeződött, amikor Muhammad Ali kihívta George Foremant a világkoronája miatt Kinshasában.

Miközben dübörög a dzsungelben, század vitathatatlanul legnagyobb sporteseménye, volt a legnézettebb bokszesemény, becslések szerint globálisan egymilliárd nézőt vonz, az afrikai boksz várható öröksége nem valósult meg. Igen, azóta a kontinensen volt néhány küzdelem, amelyet Amerika és Európa legnagyobb hálózataiban mutattak be, ezek egyszeri kedvezmények voltak, nem voltak rendszeres nemzetközi események, amelyek fenntartanák a lendületet, de mindez megváltozik ...

Január 29-én 2021, A botswanai Global Boxing Stars és a tanzániai Jackson Group a Tanzániában tervezett hat Fight Night esemény közül az elsőt mutatja be, hangulatosan „Rumble-In-Dar” néven, remélik, hogy helyrehozza az egyensúlyt és vonzza a pugilisztikus művészetek rajongóit szerte a világon.

Az úttörő eseményt Tanzánia Ibrahim osztálya vezeti (24-6-0) szemben a dél-afrikai székhelyű malawi Dennis Mwale-vel (8-0-0), akik versenyezni fognak a Boksz Világszövetségért (WBFed) Intercontinental Lightweight Championship.

Bulgaria’s Tervel Pulev (15-0-0), the brother of Heavyweight Kubrat Pulev, who was KO’d by Anthony Joshua back in December, versus Namibia’s Vikapita Meroro (29-9-0) co-headlines in a non-championship ten rounder.

The packed undercard features a further Championship contest, between Tanzania’s Shaban Hamadi Jongo (7-1-2) és New York, USA’s Shawn Miller (18-5-1) for the WBFed International Heavyweight belt.

Unbeaten Zambian World Prospect Lolita Muzeya (16-0-0) makes her return to the ring on the event and South Africa’s rising Heavyweight sensation Ardi “The Iron Fist” Ndembo (1-0-0) makes his second pro outing.

‘Rumble-in-Dar’ will take place in front of an audience at the Next Door Arena in Dar-Es-Salaam, as Tanzania, unlike much of the World today, a COVID alig érintette 19 világjárvány és globálisan fogják közvetíteni, Ingyenes hozzáférés biztosítása több mint hárommilliárd házhoz és további milliárd eszközhöz.
