Kenyan social media personality and amateur pugilist Barak Jacuzii has claimed he could “easily beat” both Majembe and Mbavu Destroyer, questioning their boxing ability as anticipation builds for their scheduled fight in April.

In a video clip that circulated online this week, Jacuzii said neither of the two viral fighters possessed advanced boxing skills.

He ranked Majembe as the stronger of the pair but still described him as beatable, while dismissing Mbavu Destroyer as significantly less technical.

Contrasting Styles in the Spotlight

Online commentators have framed the bout as a clash of styles rather than records or titles:
  • Majembe is often portrayed as more technical, with controlled footwork and ring awareness.
  • Mbavu Destroyer is known for aggression and raw power, reinforced by his viral “weka mawe” slogan.
