'Mtu Kazi' has promised to floor the Kenyan once more during the rematch that will occur at Sarit Expo Centre on July 22 in Nairobi

Tanzanian boxer Karim "Mtu Kazi" Mandonga has vowed to knock down Kenyan Daniel Wanyonyi at all costs ahead of their rematch set for July 22.

The Pugilistic Syndicate of Tanzania (PST) light heavyweight champion has promised another Knockout (KO) in a rematch scheduled to take place in Nairobi in five weeks' time.

Mandonga dropped the bombshell during an exchange at Sarit Expo Centre on Friday afternoon.

"I want to thank God for this opportunity to be here as Kenya has become my new home. Wanyonyi has now become my brother, but now it is time that I will beat him properly," he said.

"Wanyonyi is yapping here, saying he has been preparing to bring me to the ring for a thorough hiding, but I tell him I am coming with another boxing style."

Mandonga noted that when asked for a rematch against Wanyonyi, he accepted without hesitation, promising to unleash his latest style 'Kiduku.'

"Whether Wanyonyi likes it or not I will beat him.I will explode bomb's on his head than I did last time. I have prepared a new jab which I have named Kiduku," he added.

Wanyonyi, the former World Boxing Federation International champion, quickly responded, saying he was prepared for the fight.

"I am happy that he is back and I want him to know that I will easily stop him with his slogans," he said.

Wanyonyi has been in the ring once since the fight against Mandonga in January.

The 39-year-old floored Uganda's Charles Kakande in the two minutes of the first round of a light heavyweight contest that was held on March 26 in Nairobi.

On the same night, Mandonga beat Uganda's Kenneth Lukyamuzi in a split decision to claim the PST title.
