Following their viral Vurugu Fight Night bout on April 4, President William Ruto plans to meet boxers Majembe and Mbavu Destroyer at State House, as revealed by media personality Oga Obinna after a direct phone call with the President.
Media personality Oga Obinna shared details of a phone conversation with President William Ruto after the high-profile Vurugu Fight Night event on April 4, 2026, at Kasarani Indoor Arena, where Majembe (Potifus Odipo) defeated Mbavu Destroyer (Ferdinand Omondi).
Ruto praised the event and participants, having previously pledged Ksh1 million to each main boxer. Obinna disclosed that the President is arranging his schedule to host the boxers, referees, and key organizers at State House for a celebratory meeting.
Obinna advocated for Ksh1 million each to other boxers and Ksh300,000 for referees. He urged against politicizing the event and thanked supporters, noting it demonstrated Kenyans' ability to host major events independently. He rejected politicians using the platform without paying entry fees.
The bout attracted calls from eight governors and nearly all MPs. Obinna announced plans to expand to counties like Busia, Mombasa, and Uasin Gishu, including a potential Majembe vs Somali Boxer fight.
