Misery piles up after Mwakinyo’s controversial loss

TANZANIAN professional boxer, Hassan Mwakinyo has been banned from fighting in the United Kingdom, two weeks after his controversial loss to British boxer Liam Smith in the super welterweight non-title bout in Liverpool.

The government reacted by ordering the professional boxing body to conduct a thorough investigation on the controversial loss.

The government, through the National Sports Council (NSC) ordered the Tanzania Professional Boxing Regulatory Commission (TPBRC) to investigate the whole issue and come with appropriate answers.

Report says Mwakinyo has been banned from fighting in the United Kingdom, two weeks after  he was beaten by British boxer Liam Smith in the super welterweight non-title bout in Liverpool.

According to the world professional boxing records rankings (Boxrec), Mwakinyo has been banned by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC).

The statement, however, did not disclose the reason why the Tanzanian pugilist was banned from fighting in the UK, although it is speculated that the fight against Smith could be the reason.

However, the decision does not prevent Mwakinyo from fighting in other parts of the  world, according to professional boxing regulations.

While fighting with Mwakinyo in Liverpool, Smith was banned from fighting in the United States by the country’s boxing board.

Prior to the ban, NSC instructed TPBRC, to investigate the whole issue that resulted into Mwakinyo’s shameful loss.
