Since
then, Majiha has won six straight, beating the
likes of Harvey Horn (9-0) and Manyo Plange
(21-0-1), and now he will get a chance to become
Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) world
Bantamweight champion.
On
September 30 in Mwanza, Tanzania, he will face
Filipino contender Renz “The Jaguar” Rosia, who
despite a mediocre 17-10-2 (9) record, has
proven to be a world class fighter.
A former
three-time Philippines national champion, WBC
International champion and IBO world
title-challenger, Rosia (35) has fought a long
line of top opponents, and has defeated several
of them since turning pro in 2006.

A former
UBO International and WBA Africa titlist, Majiha
(30) is not lacking in the experience department
either. In 2011 he challenged for the UBO world
Super Flyweight title, losing a decision to Mudde
Ntambi in Uganda.
In 2017 he
ventured up to Super Featherweight, coming up
short in a challenge for the UBO world title
against Singaporean Muhammad Ridhwan.
Six years
on, he is now ready to have a third crack at world
honours, and continue his impressive
winning-streak against a tough co-challenger in
Rosia, who will have his own ideas of how the
fight will turn out.
Both will
know that this is a big opportunity, and their
fighting-styles almost guarantee that this one
will be full of fireworks.
