Amateur boxer Mbavu Destroyer has dismissed claims that he filed a lawsuit against show host Oga Obinna and rival Majembe, distancing himself from a case currently before the Sports Disputes Tribunal.

Speaking during a recent interview, Mbavu denied any involvement in court proceedings, insisting he does not believe in pursuing disputes through legal channels.

“Hizo no manyoya ni wapi umeniona kortini mimi. Mimi ni mnyama, huezi niona kortini. Mimi siwezi taka aende kortini, nataka kumtrace one man,” he said.

The boxer further claimed that even his lawyer was unaware of any such case, raising questions over the origin of the lawsuit filed in his name.

“Ata my lawyer hayuko aware of such thing, so sijui huyo ni nani. Mimi siwezi mstaki mtu,” he added.

His remarks come just days after Obinna revealed he had been served with court papers linked to the controversial “Vurugu Fight,” which saw Majembe knock out Mbavu in the fourth round at the Kasarani Indoor Arena.

According to Obinna, the case—filed at the Sports Disputes Tribunal—lists both him and Majembe as respondents, with the Kenya Professional Boxing Commission named as an interested party.

The dispute stems from Mbavu’s earlier complaints that the decisive blow was an illegal low punch, and that the referee failed to take appropriate action, ultimately awarding Majembe the victory.

Court documents indicated that the claimant was seeking to overturn the result, be declared the rightful winner, or have the bout ruled a technical draw with a rematch ordered.

The tribunal certified the matter as urgent and scheduled it for mention on Wednesday, April 15.

However, Mbavu’s latest statements appear to contradict the legal action, casting uncertainty over whether the case was filed with his consent or driven by external advisers.
