In the aftermath of the bout, Mandonga offered a rather extraordinary explanation for his defeat, attributing it to witchcraft.
The Tanzanian fighter claimed that he observed his opponent closely, starting from the weigh-in, and struggled to comprehend Golola's fighting style.
However, it was the discovery of objects resembling items used in witchcraft that convinced Mandonga that he was battling supernatural forces during the match.
"My fans, you saw that I was beaten. I observed my opponent from the time we weighed in, and I totally failed to understand him," Mandonga expressed.
"My opponent had objects that looked like items which are normally used by witches. So losing that fight is just normal, but I can say I fought against dark forces, and how I went down on the canvas, I can't tell," he added.
