As Team Mbavu, we want a rematch - Jalang'o
In the aftermath of a highly charged boxing showdown that had the entire nation glued to their screens, Lang’ata MP Felix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o, has thrown his weight behind calls for an immediate rematch.
Speaking passionately as a staunch supporter of Team Mbavu, the comedian-turned-politician expressed clear dissatisfaction with the outcome of the bout between Mbavu Destroyer and Majembe. He openly questioned the validity of the decisive moments, insisting that the fight deserved a fairer verdict and a second chance to settle the score once and for all.
The contest, which featured prominent political figures in the audience including Babu Owino and Nominated Senator Karen Nyamu, quickly spiraled into controversy. While Majembe emerged victorious, many fans and observers, including Jalang’o, argued that the winning blow appeared questionable and may not have landed cleanly. Social media erupted with debates, some even suggesting the entire match felt scripted to favour one side. Jalang’o’s bold declaration has now amplified these voices, turning what started as a simple boxing event into a national talking point about sportsmanship, fairness, and the need for a proper rematch to restore confidence among supporters.
With the dust still settling from the dramatic night, Jalang’o’s stance has ignited fresh excitement across Kenya’s boxing community. Whether organisers will heed the call remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Team Mbavu is not backing down. The demand for a rematch has not only kept the conversation alive but also highlighted how deeply Kenyans invest in such spectacles, blending entertainment, rivalry, and raw emotion into one unforgettable story.
