Olympian Catherine Nanziri has insisted she is not afraid of her challenger Egine Kayange ahead of the African Women’s Bantamweight title.
The August 19 at Lugogo, will be Nanziri’s fifth professional boxing bout in her young pro career, but will be against Tanzanian number one.
“I know my opponent is Tanzania’s number one who is also more experienced as she has 12 fights and I have five,” Nanziri assessed while speaking to the press on Wednesday.
“All I know is she’s a woman and I’m never afraid of women. If it were a man, I would be worried,” she teased.
“I expect to give her a strong challenge such that I take this Bantamweight belt for my Ugandan fans.”
“The lessons I learnt from my previous fight have improved me but were also an eye-opener. It steered me to where we are now.”
Nanziri has previously defeated the Tanzanian duo of Husna Zamba and Sandra Mohamed, while she also beat Ugandan Salimat Tibesigwa.
She also beat Kenyan native, Nicholine Achieng in what was her most recent fight.
