Matumla and Cheka rematch again Nov 3

Popular boxer Rashid Matumla `Snake Man` and Francis Cheka are expected to fight in a 10-round super-middle weight fight on November 3. The non-title fight will be staged at the Luxury Pub in Temeke, Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Professional Boxing Organisation, Yassin Abdallah, said the fight is expected to be tough and a crowd-puller as both boxers are very strong. `These boxers last met in 2004 and fans have been always asking us about their rematch. I hope that fans will now be happy,` he claimed. `This will be an international fight as the two boxers are internationally recorgnised. They also have many fans in the country,` added Abdallah. Matumla knocked down Cheka in the third round in their first match in January 13, 2003. Cheka won on points in their rematch played a year later. Matumla have so far played 41 fights, won 34 and lost 7 while Cheka played 12 fights, drew 1 and lost three.
