In a highly anticipated match at the Kasarani Indoor Arena in Nairobi, Majembe knocked out Mbavu Destroyer on April 4, 2026, securing the Vurugu Championship Belt and a total prize of over Sh2.5 million.
The fight, organized by comedian Oga Obinna, drew a packed crowd and was streamed live for fans outside Nairobi. President William Ruto pledged Sh1,000,000 to both fighters for their training, while Kasarani MP Ronald Karauri contributed Sh2,000,000 towards the event.
Majembe’s victory was marked by a decisive performance, with all three judges favoring him on the scorecards. He outscored Mbavu Destroyer, who was 25 years old at the time, with scores of 30-27 in the first round and 32-27 in the third round.
Majembe’s win was described as a significant breakthrough for him, as he defied expectations to secure a unanimous decision victory. “Majembe defied expectations to secure a unanimous decision win, outscoring his much-hyped rival across all judges’ scorecards,” noted an observer.
In addition to the championship belt, Majembe received a brand new Toyota Noah and a Taro GP1 sport bike valued at Sh385,000. The fight was originally scheduled for ten rounds but was stopped in the fourth round due to Majembe’s overwhelming performance.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the aftermath of the fight and the future plans for both fighters. However, the event has already sparked significant interest in the boxing community, especially considering its origins as a TikTok rivalry between two young men from working-class backgrounds.
As the boxing scene in Kenya continues to evolve, Majembe’s victory may pave the way for more opportunities and recognition for local fighters.
