Rising Kenyan boxer Majembe has addressed the viral promise made by content creator Alicia Kanini following his victory in the highly publicised Vurugu match.
Speaking during a recent interview on Homeboyz Radio, the athlete opened up about the rewards he has received and his views on the social media hype surrounding the bout.
Before the fight, Alicia Kanini publicly stated that she had a “special gift” for whoever emerged victorious between Majembe and his opponent, Mbavu Destoyer. Since the final bell rang, fans have been curious to know if she has followed through on her word.
Focusing on the Prize
When asked about the creator’s promise, Majembe remained composed. He noted that while he is aware of her statement, he is waiting to see the nature of the reward.
“It depends on what she is bringing. But right now, I am not looking for a ‘good time.’ I am chasing my goals until we make it,” Majembe stated during the interview.
The boxer emphasised that he remains grounded despite his sudden rise to superstardom over the last six months. He made it clear that his priority is his professional growth rather than short-term social rewards.
A Massive Windfall
The “Vurugu” match proved to be a lucrative endeavour for the pugilist. Majembe confirmed that he has already secured significant prizes from various sponsors and well-wishers.
He revealed that his winnings include:
- Ksh 1.7 million in cash.
- A new car
- An iPhone 17, which he noted he is set to receive.
Majembe also mentioned that several people brought offers to the table, including the President, who reportedly offered financial support.
Legacy Over Content
Reflecting on his opponent, the content creator Mbavu Destoyer, Majembe acknowledged the difference in their approaches. He described him as a “clever talker” who excels at acting and winning public sympathy.
“He is good at content and acting. He knows the strategy to get sympathy from people. I don’t know those designs yet; he beat me at that,” Majembe admitted.
However, the boxer believes his performance in the ring marks the start of something much larger than a single exhibition match. He stated that this victory is the beginning of a legacy.
Looking Toward the Olympics
Majembe is not resting on his laurels. He told Homeboyz Radio that he intends to keep “chasing” and taking on new challenges.
His ultimate goal transcends local exhibition matches. He confirmed that he is now setting his sights on the highest level of amateur boxing: the Olympics.
