Muwowo mesmerised the boxing fans who trooped to Government Complex with his steady punches which were unbearable for Komani who gave up on the ABU Flyweight belt in the third round of the fight after a well-timed punch which sent the South African boxer to the canvas.
And speaking after witnessing his boxer knocked out Tempi said that the Zambian boxer had the potential to be the next world champion.

“I said it before. This boy has the potential. I said that he is the future, he proved today that he can go far. Chris, how I wish you can groom this boy he is the next big thing,
“I haven’t seen something like this in a long time. Congratulations Alfred. keep your head down my boys. respect boxing. You are the next world champion. I’m not saying this because I’m here but because of what I have seen in that boy. He is really good,” Tempi said.
And Muwowo said he would continue to work hard to achieve his target of being the best boxer.
Muwowo, who recently changed his name to Muhamad Ibrahim Alfred Muwowo after becoming a Muslim, thanked his Allah for helping him defend his ABU Flyweight title.
“I’m feeling good. First of all I would like to thank my Allah. Because without him I can’t do nothing. I wasn’t expecting my opponent to give me a good fight but he is a good boxer,” Muwowo said.
