The pre-fight weigh-in for the anticipated clash between Majembe and Mbavu the Destroyer nearly turned into an early main event after tensions boiled over on the scale.
What was supposed to be a routine ceremonial face-off quickly became chaotic when the two fighters squared up. Words were exchanged, security personnel rushed in, and for a tense moment, it appeared the scheduled bout was about to start right there on the stage.
Majembe, known for his aggressive pre-fight theatrics, was seen leaning into Mbavu’s space as the two traded words. Mbavu the Destroyer, never one to back down, responded in kind—pushing the confrontation to the edge before handlers and security managed to separate them.
The near-scuffle has only intensified interest in the actual fight, with fans online already declaring the weigh-in a victory for the hype machine. Clips of the incident have been circulating heavily across Kenyan social media, with many noting that if the weigh-in was this charged, the main event could be explosive.
Organizers have since played down the incident, stating that both fighters were simply showcasing their competitive spirit ahead of the scheduled bout.
