Farahat Manirola in red Boxing against Julius Kaddu (Blue) in the Uganda Boxing Champions League at Club Obligato 

Uganda’s burgeoning boxing sensation, Farahat Manirola, affectionately known as “King Falat The Nightmare,” is gearing up for a thrilling challenge at the prestigious Knockout Ya Mama IV championship.

Scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 24th, at Viwanja Vya Poster in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, this highly anticipated event promises to deliver electrifying action.

Under the guidance of his new management team, Ddamulira and Sons Foundation, Manirola will face off against Tanzania’s Loren Japhet Itinala in a Super Lightweight (63.5 Kgs) non-title bout.

This marks Manirola’s 12th professional fight, having won nine bouts, including six record knockouts, and lost only twice since turning pro.

Manirola’s most recent victory came in his debut at the Uganda Boxing Champions League, where he unanimously defeated Julius Kaddu 5:0. Now, he’ll need to tap into his nerves and prove his rapidly growing stardom on the continent against the more experienced Loren Japhet.

The Tanzanian southpaw boasts an impressive record of 19 wins, including four knockouts, and two losses by knockout in 30 professional bouts.

The Knockout Ya Mama IV championship has been cleared by the Africa Boxing Union (ABU) through the Tanzania Professional Boxing Regulatory Commission, with Anathol Wannah of Mafia Boxing Promotion at the helm.

The event will feature a star-studded lineup, including:

1. Yahana Mchanja Vs Fillemon Nghutenanye

2. Amiri Kalolo Vs Gomez Harlan

3. Richard Mtangi Vs Avzalbek Kuranbeav

4. Luqman Kimoko Vs Chand Sagar

5. Oscar Duge Vs Gabriel Ochieng

6. Said Bakari Bwanga Vs Albert Kimario

7. Wellem Asemahle Vs Rasheed Idowu

8. George Kandulo Vs Abdurahaman Magoma

9. Idd Pialari Vs Snowden Munyanje

10. Saleh Kassim Vs Sowali Ssentongo
