“He is also well-experienced as he played many times fights of 8 rounds.

“What made the fight more difficult is that the Kenyan boxer is famous for his random boxing style.

“Thankfully I did follow thoroughly the advises of my coach,” Rabii closed.

It is worth reminding that Rabii is the current world champion of boxing (-69 kg).
