The tactician feels the Ingwe supporters should turn out in large numbers and support the team against their arch rivals
Okolla, a product of the famous Dallas Muthurwa boxing ranks and younger brother of retired international Daniel Shisia, was initially set to defend his national heavyweight title against US-based Kenyan Raymond "King Kong" Ochieng, but the fight didn't materialise.
"Raymond chickened out after travelling all the way from the US to Kenya, he's like a hyena so scared of me," said Okolla, as per Nenez Media.
"All that is now water under the bridge, I'm focused on my fight with the DRC boxer. I will teach this dancer a good boxing lesson, I will entertain my fans with boxing Made in Dallas."
