FRIDAY 26, 2013 - Dar es Salaam - Reeling
from the recent defeat in the hands of the German strongman Uensal Arik
, TEAM Francis Cheka is back on the drawing board as it attempts to
defuse negative impact of the loss in their forthcoming rumble against the man
of the people and dreadlock Thomas Mashali. The duo is competing
for the “IBF Continental Africa Super Middleweight Title” as optional
defense for Cheka.
The tournament slated for 1st May, 2013 (May Day) has
elicited a lot of excitements from thousands of boxing stakeholders in Tanzania
and the whole of East African region. Thomas Mashali is the East
& Central African Middleweight Champion and the biggest crowd
puller in the region todate.
Cheka’s recent defeat was kind of embarrassment
as he took the fight as a warm up but alas, things turned bitter as the Germany
strongman Uensal Arik sent him reeling to the floor before Thomas
Mtua threw out the towel as SOS for the Tanzanian slugger! It
was a defeat from “Manna”as this kind of taught Cheka a lesson or two
about taking boxing serious as there is nothing as a small fight in boxing.
