The boxer is set for his maiden title fight.
Wanyonyi, however, did not take it lightly and has promised fireworks in their next bout.
“In the previous match, I lost because of a few mistakes but now I have learnt. There were also so many issues at the time but I am now comfortable. Our next match is going to be a thriller and I will surely impress,” Wanyonyi said.
In the event that saw Mandonga run away with the Pugilistic Syndicate of Tanzania (PST) light heavyweight title on March 25, Wanyonyi was also not left behind as he silenced Uganda’s Charles Kakande in the super middleweight bout.
