From the ring walk of these two boxers, the fans screamed their lungs out as they sang aloud for the majestic arrivals of the corporates.
Lutaaya, husband to businesswoman and socialite Hassan Zari looked much fitter and flexible with great footwork as well as defence was very impressive in the opening two rounds.
He threw punches, twisted his body well for defence as he scored points.

The spouse (Zari) was pensive throughout the bout and at one moment sipped water before burying her hand in the veil.
Predictably, at the start of the third and final round, JK Kazoora succumbed as he removed his head gear, gloves and gave up to avoid further punishment.
The two boxers embraced much to the delight of the crowd before the night’s referee declared Lutaaya as the runner.
