Congolese eyes Hitman scalp

Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) Benoit Makangali Vela promises a fierce encounter against Paulus 'Hitman' Moses.Vela boldly said that he would send the former world champion to the canvas when the two meet for the WBO Africa lightweight title at the Ramatex complex on 1 April.The fight will be the main bout of the night, with 10 undercards lined up, including three other title fights. “I know I am fighting a former world champion, but I am also a continental champion,” Vela said.“My dream has always been to become a world champion, which makes this fight very special to me.“I want to send a message to 'Hitman' and his fans that I am going to knock him down.”The Congolese boxer has a record of 13 fights, of which he has won 12 and lost one.He will have to defy the odds, though, as the Namibian has won 38 fights with only three losses in his professional boxing career.Vela invites all Congolese living in Namibia to show up for the event. Uganda's Med Sebyala is equally confident, vowing to defeat WBO Africa middleweight champion Walter 'Executioner' Kautondokwa.Sebyala believes that the Namibian's punches will not hurt him since he has fought against tougher opponents back home.“I am here to fight and not to play around. I am here to win the hearts of Namibians. “I have fought great fighters over the years, making me a very hard man to beat,” Sebyala said.Undefeated Namibian boxer Sakaria 'Desert Storm' Lukas will be looking to extend his unbeaten run when he defends his WBO Africa featherweight title against Oscar Chauke of South Africa. Other fighters on the night will include Mike Shonena, Ebenestus Mendu Kaangundue, Immanuel Mungandjela, Andreas Amupolo and Timoteus Shuulula.Promising talent Jeremiah 'No Respect' Nakathila will make a comeback in the super bantamweight division over eight rounds. General tickets are selling for N$50, while VIP tickets cost N$300. JESSE JACKSON KAURAISA
