3.11.2005:Kenyan female featherweight Damaris Muthoni, back home in Nairobi after her valiant fight in Germany with now-‘world’ champion Ina Menzer, aims to get back in a double pack before she plans another title assault in Germany in 2006.

Fight Production promotes its only women boxer, in cooperation with Risum Boxing of Denmark and local partner-cum-heavyweight Joseph Akhasamba, at the Pal Pal Gym in Nairobi, where Muthoni is scheduled to clash over six rounds with Ugandan Nantondo Mulinde.

Not much is known of the girl from Kampala, but “Damaris simply must beat all local opposition if her dream of becoming a champion is to be taken serious,” says manager Olaf Schroeder.

After that, Muthoni, 6-3-2 (2 KO’s), shall appear in December, again in her hometown of Nairobi, when Fight Production and their partners team up with local promoter Franklyn Imbenzi to stage a huge ‘Xmas Bang’ promotion with several title bouts.

“I expect Damaris to win both fights – that’s her ticket back to Germany and back to title fights!” said Schroeder, of Fight Production.
