There are boxers then there is Tanzanian pugilist Karim “Mtu Kazi” Mandonga. The 43-year-old has fast gained celebrity status for his viral pre-match showboating.

If words would count in a boxing ring, then the big-talking Mandonga would be the envy of many in the boxing field if his comical statements before bouts are anything to go by.

In terms of pre-match antics, he is in the same league as two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. But that is where the comparison ends.
