Nairobi’s celebrity boxing scene is set for another tense night inside the ring as Celebrity Fight Nights returns for its second edition on June 28th at The Alchemist, Westlands, with a fight card that has already sparked conversations across entertainment circles.
At the centre of attention is a headline bout featuring rapper and entertainer Barak Jacuzzi stepping into the ring against Benzema, a Gengetone artist known for his aggressive stage persona and competitive edge. Both fighters have reportedly been undergoing intensive training ahead of the clash, setting up a bout that blends music industry rivalry with personal pride.
Another highly anticipated matchup pits rapper Big Yasa against AfroPop artist Zeman, a fight that has generated early buzz due to the contrasting styles of both personalities — with Big Yasa’s street-rooted reputation facing off against Zeman’s more melodic and controlled public image.
The card also includes actor Brahim Ouma going head-to-head with DJ and producer Mack Lean, while fitness influencer and athlete Carlos Derry takes on luxury goods entrepreneur Brian Arani in what organisers describe as one of the most unpredictable matchups of the night.
Unlike traditional celebrity appearances, participants in this event have spent weeks in preparation camps, with many undergoing boxing training for the first time in their public careers.
