A public dispute has erupted between media personality Oga Obinna and Nairobi Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria following allegations that the April 4 boxing match between Mbavu Destroyer and Majembe was scripted.
Mosiria claimed the bout was not a genuine professional contest but an arranged “show” designed for entertainment and financial gain.
“The entire thing is a script… this was a con game,” he alleged, adding that he had earlier tried to support Mbavu Destroyer with professional trainers, but his efforts were allegedly sidelined.
He further criticized the organization of the match, calling for proper boxing structures. “If you want real boxing, let it be conducted by professionals… don’t waste people’s money,” Mosiria said.
The controversy was fueled by earlier claims surrounding Mbavu Destroyer’s training, where he reportedly said he was forced to train on his own using improvised methods after being unable to afford a Sh 200,000 training fee allegedly linked to Mosiria’s arrangements.
The fight, which drew massive public attention, ended in a technical knockout victory for Majembe.
It had also attracted national interest after William Ruto previously pledged financial support to the participants.
Responding to the accusations, Obinna dismissed Mosiria’s claims, accusing him of seeking attention and undermining efforts to support youth talent.
“Sometimes, before you blabber, just stop and think… When someone is doing something amazing for the youth and for Kenya, give credit where it’s due,” Obinna said.
He added, “You are watching online like everyone else who didn’t attend. Stop being a hater.”
The heated exchange has sparked debate online, with some Kenyans backing Mosiria’s call for professionalism in boxing, while others defended Obinna, arguing the event was meant for entertainment and youth empowerment.
The incident highlights growing concerns over the organization of influencer-driven sporting events, with calls for clearer regulation and transparency as such contests continue to gain popularity.
