Ajibu says he wants to prove that he is a top boxer despite not living up to the fans expectations since turning professional after winning a gold medal at the Zone IV Games in South Africa.

“I want to prove that my triumph in South Africa was not a fluke and that despite some poor showing recently I am still a top boxer.

“My career is now back on track and I am now aiming for international titles and the Sunday fight will be the turning point. I lost against a Zimbabwean early this year because of injury, but I was cheated as I fought an opponent who was weighing 20 kilogrammes more than I.

“This is the first time I am fighting under my new promoters Ayaya City Stable so I need to make an immediate impact by flooring Said in the early rounds, “said the 26-year-old boxer.

However, the Tanzanian spoke tough in the countdown to the bout and described Ajibu as a ‘little man’.

Mbelwa, who arrived in the country on Tuesday together with his trainer Omari Yazidu, said Ajibu does not provoke fear in him considering the reputable boxers he has fought against.

“I am just back from Germany where I fought against the WBO champion Gold Villa last month. Although I lost on points, I still feel too big for Ajibu. He is just a little man,” said Mbelwa .

According to Yazidu, Mbelwa has fought many international bouts in Germany, Switzerland and Australia.

“He has a vast international experience and I do not see Ajibu surviving the 10 rounds,” said Yazidu.

Mbelwa, 25, has a record of 18 wins (12 TKOs), eight draws and four losses.

Ajibu has a record of 17 wins and a loss.

PMJ Boxing Promotions director Gerald Lipikwe, whose stable is promoting the bout, said the bout will start in the afternoon and not at night as reported by some media houses.
