15.02.06: Kenyan female featherweight Damaris Muthoni today arrived at Dusseldorf airport, tired after a long night flight from Nairobi, but happy to be back in Germany, the country she now affectionally calls “my home”. She was greeted at the airport by her trainer Mario Guedes and several friends she made on her first visit, before taking off to Aachen, where she will soon begin training with the former heavyweight champion for her first-ever main event appearance in her adopted hometown on April 8.

“I couldn’t wait to come back and now I can’t wait until April! I’m living my biggest dream and it all started with a simple letter that I send to Olaf (Schroeder of Fight Production, now her manager) together with a CD of some of my fights,” beamed the 29-year-old Muthoni and added “I can’t thank Mario and Olaf enough for what they do for me.”

Now equipped with a record that reads 8-3-2 (4 KO’s), Muthoni is lined up to headline P4P Boxpromotion’s show in a challenge for the WBF women’s world featherweight crown with the whole team optimistic of success. In fact, Schroeder now admitted for the first time:

“I never told Damaris, but actually to this day I never watched one second of the CD she once send me! My gut feeling just told me this girl could be a champion.”
