Good luck our champ
Guys you read below those beauty boobs “Tecate”, Tecate is good beer I can recommend to Edgar Lungu. Taste like a mixture of Mosi with Rhinosttr4
If she is as fit as she looks compared to her opponent[look at that six pack] we should expect her to win
Go Catherine Go…we are praying for you and wishing you all the best of Lucky. With God on your side ,all things are including a Win is possible
How can you pray for a fight? Ba Edward naimwe kushikwata amano, what do you think Riva is such a sinner that God will use Catherine to torment her? You pray for miracles, but Catherine don’t need your fasting to win, she is a hardworking girl. Mulemutela fye ama shamo.
ba edward how do u involve god mulubuli sure. just wish her good luck thats all. GOOD LUCK CATHY
MAKE SURE U KICK MORE TO THE HEARD AND MAKE POINTS WISH U A EASY FIGHT I CAN SMELL A CHAMPION S BELT IN ZAMBIA
….just by being there she is already a winner….im sure locals are busy asking where is she from…busy checking from the Atlas…..did you know that even in the UK very few people know about Zambia…you have to mention notorious countries like, Congo or South Africa to give them an idea…..tourism could have been neck to neck with copper on foreign earnings only if we marketed our country well like Catherine has done….
Finally a zambian fighting for real world title. She is a winner already. Only the great Lottie Gundazani Mwale came close to this and there has never been another.
What is the time?
Finally our Cathy is in America, all the best
