The 21-year-old defeated Ferdinand Omondi, alias “Mbavu Destroyer,” in the fourth round, delivering one of the most exciting sporting moments in Kenya this year.
Following his victory, Majembe has emerged as the undisputed winner, with fans yet to fully grasp the value of the rewards he stands to receive.

In addition, a prominent betting company that sponsored the bout pledged a brand-new Toyota Noah, valued at about Ksh4 million, for the winner. Majembe is also expected to receive a Taro GP1 sports bike worth over Ksh385,000.
Beyond cash and vehicles, Majembe will enjoy a one-year gym membership, a full supply of supplements, and opportunities for brand endorsements and promotional work, further boosting his earnings.
