The event
celebrating the forty-sixth anniversary of the
Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman “Rumble in the
Jungle”, which took place in the same city on
this date in 1974, Eseko fended off the
challenge of previously unbeaten danger-man
Forele Malonga Dzalamou from neighboring
Congo-Brazzaville.
Dzalamou
was expected to give Eseko a tough fight, and he
did just that as he gave almost as good as he
got for the entire ten rounds. But in the end,
the three judges at ringside felt that the
defending champion had done enough to deserve
the victory.
Judges
Josue Matete, Serge Nzau and Felix Mputu all saw
it in favor of Eseko by scores of 98-96, 95-93
and 98-95.
