Kenyan socialite Manzi wa Mombasa has sparked fresh buzz online after publicly expressing her desire to join the growing celebrity boxing wave that has recently taken over Kenya’s entertainment scene.
The outspoken entertainer reportedly appealed to media personality Oga Obinna to organize a women’s boxing match, boldly declaring that she is ready to fight.
“I am asking this today because we all saw the Vurugu boxing match, which happened between Majembe and Mbavu Destroyer. And now I see Oga Obinna wants to bring Vurugu Boxing Season 2, but I have not seen any women there,” Manzi Wa Mombasa said.
“So I am asking Obinna, where is women’s Vurugu Boxing? Yet I am here and very ready to box someone. You know me, when it comes to anything involving fists and facing off with people, I am always interested. “Obinna, please do one for women, and I want those women who feel they have what it takes to box me to start speaking up,” she added.
Her remarks come at a time when celebrity boxing events have become one of the hottest topics on Kenyan social media, attracting huge online debates and massive fan engagement.
Over the past few weeks, Obinna has increasingly positioned himself as one of the key faces behind the viral boxing trend.
The comedian and content creator has been teasing more exhibition matches after previous events generated widespread attention online.
Reports and social media clips indicate that more matches could be lined up in the coming months, with some expected to feature influencers, celebrities and internet personalities.
Manzi wa Mombasa’s latest declaration immediately stirred reactions among Kenyans online, with many amused by her confidence while others encouraged her to actually enter the ring.
Some social media users joked that female influencers might soon dominate the entertainment boxing scene if the idea materializes.
Her comments also highlight how celebrity boxing is slowly evolving from a mere online joke into a full-blown entertainment business.
What initially started as playful social media feuds and influencer rivalries is now attracting sponsors, live audiences and millions of online views.
Obinna himself has hinted at expanding the concept further by organizing larger exhibition fights involving public personalities and viral figures.
The trend has particularly resonated with younger audiences who enjoy the mix of drama, entertainment and competition.
For Manzi wa Mombasa, joining the boxing conversation is yet another reminder of her ability to stay relevant in Kenya’s fast-moving entertainment industry.
Known for her bold personality and controversial remarks, the socialite has consistently found ways to keep netizens talking.
Whether the proposed women’s match eventually happens or not, one thing is already clear, celebrity boxing is quickly becoming Kenya’s newest entertainment obsession, and personalities like Manzi wa Mombasa are eager to cash in on the hype.
The growing trend has also opened conversations about women entering influencer boxing, something that has already become popular internationally.
If Obinna decides to organize such a match, it could mark one of the first major female celebrity boxing events in Kenya’s digital entertainment space.
