Tanzanian boxer Karim “Mandonga” Said is expected to step into the ring in Zanzibar today for a bout against Michael Williams of Canada.
Mandonga, who has built a strong following through his confident pre-fight statements and entertaining self-promotion, returns to action looking to secure another victory against his international opponent.
According to available boxing records, Mandonga has a professional record of approximately 7 wins, 10 losses and 3 draws, including several victories by KO/TKO.
However, some boxing databases show slight differences in the number of bouts recorded.
In his most recently recorded fight, Mandonga faced Shabani Kaoneka on July 26, 2025, losing by unanimous decision after six rounds. Before that, in May 2025, he defeated Alex Mwakibete by KO/TKO.
Mandonga has also been involved in several high-profile fights in East Africa, including his bouts against Kenyan boxer Daniel Wanyonyi.
In their first encounter in January 2023, Mandonga stopped Wanyonyi by TKO, before Wanyonyi got his revenge in their rematch in Nairobi later that year.
The Tanzanian boxer has become particularly popular because of the excitement he generates both inside and outside the ring.
His bold statements, confidence and unique way of promoting his fights have made him one of the most talked-about boxers among Tanzanian fans.
As for Michael Williams, reliable publicly available information confirming his professional record was not found in the sources checked, so specific statistics about his record have not been included to avoid publishing inaccurate information.
Today’s fight in Zanzibar gives Mandonga another opportunity to showcase his ability in the ring, with fans eager to see whether he can return to winning ways.
