Rashid Matumla
Rashid Matumla `Snake Man` and Francis Cheka meet in a 10-round super-middle weight non-title fight at the Luxury Pub in Temeke, Dar es Salaam today.
The President of the Tanzania Professional Boxing Organisation, Yassin Abdallah, said yesterday that the fight would be tough and would pull the crowd because Matumla and Cheka are among good boxers in the country.
``Matumla and Rashid last met in 2004 and fans have been always asking us about their rematch. I hope fans will now be happy to watch this fight,`` he said.
``This will be an international fight as the two boxers are internationally recognized. They also have many fans in the country,`` he added.
Matumla knocked down Cheka in the third round in their first match on January 13, 2003 before Cheka won on points in their rematch played a year later.
Matumla have so far played 41 fights, won 34 and lost seven while Cheka played 12 fights, drew one and lost three.
