Tanzania\u2019s World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental Super Welterweight Champion Hassan Mwakinyo (18-2-0) will be back in Championship action in front of a home crowd on the 28th May 2021, when he faces Zimbabwe\u2019s unbeaten Brendon Dene 8-0-0 for the WBC Africa (African Boxing Union) title at the Next Door Arena in Dar es Salaam on the Global Boxing Stars, The Jackson Group and Epic Sports & Entertainment co-promoted Rumble In Dar Second Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in 2018 Mwakinyo shocked the boxing world when he sensationally stopped Great Britain\u2019s highly ranked Sam Eggington in just one minute of the second round on the undercard of the Amir Khan vs Samuel Vargas at the Arena Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mwakinyo\u2019s victory over Eggington made the headlines across the world, as the British fighter was was the reigning IBO Continental Champion. Despite the loss Eggington went on to become crowned the IBF World Champion the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since that sensational victory over Eggington Mwakinyo has won six times, four of these wins coming by way of stoppage, and secured Championship honours; The Universal Boxing Union (UBU) International, following a second round stoppage of fellow Tanzanian Joseph Sinkala and more recently the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Intercontinental crown, with a unanimous points decision over Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s Bebe Rico Tshibangu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In November 2020 Mwakinyo successfully defended his WBF crown against Jose Carlos Paz, stopping the Argentinian in four rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHassan, has so much potential and is probably one of the biggest secrets In the super welterweight division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe destroyed Sam Eggerton in the UK, and should have been a lot more highly rated after that fight. It\u2019s now Hassan\u2019s time and I\u2019m excited to be promoting such a world class talent from Tanzania\u201d said Scott Patrick Farrell, CEO Global Boxing Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
