In October 2012 Mashali made his first mark on
the scene when he won the East & Central African
title with a unanimous decision over Ugandan Med
Sebyala. He defended that crown with a knockout
over Kenyan Bernard Mackoliech in January, but
in May he was stopped in ten rounds of an evenly
contested affair by former UBO Champion Francis
Cheka.
Mashali rebounded well in July by stopping
Patrick Amote in round six, and followed that
victory up in August by winning the WBF All
Africa Super Middleweight crown on a majority
decision over fellow countryman Mada Maugo. Now
back at Middleweight, he is travelling to Russia
full of confidence that he can go back with the
UBO belt.
The Arif Magomedov vs. Thomas Mashali UBO
Inter-Continental Middleweight title fight on
November 16 in Podolsk, Russia will be promoted
by Dmitry Bogomolov and Pavel Popov of Podolsk
Fighting League.
