Vurugu 3: Obinna reacts after Andrew Kibe accepts Peter Salasya’s boxing challenge
By Valerian Khakayi, July 2, 2026Media personality Steve Thompson Maghana, widely known as Oga Obinna, has expressed excitement after Andrew Kibe accepted Mumias East MP Peter Salasya’s boxing challenge for the upcoming Vurugu 3 celebrity boxing event.
Kibe confirmed on Wednesday, July 1,2026, that he was ready to step into the ring against Salasya, saying he would begin training once the legislator signed a legally binding agreement.
He also suggested the fight be held in December to allow enough time for preparation.
“So I’ve decided to accept Ka Salasya’s offer to whoop his ass. We do this in December to give me time to train, but only after he signs makalatas ndiyo naanza training,” he wrote.
“Huwezi trust Mluhya anaeza ruka story anytime.”
Reacting to the development, Obinna said it looked like the much-anticipated fight was finally taking shape.
However, he urged Kibe’s fans to confirm that the social media account announcing the acceptance was authentic before calling on Salasya to start preparing for the bout.
“I think we have a MATCH!! KIBE vs SALASYA #vurugu3 #obinnatvstudios Hebu mafans wa Kibe waconfirm kama ni real account.
@peter_salasya anza Tizi gathee,” Obinna wrote.

Obinna’s reaction comes days after he backed Salasya’s challenge and pledged an initial Ksh2 million prize purse for the fight, saying the amount could increase to Ksh5 million through sponsorship if Kibe agreed to face the legislator.
“@peter_salasya, your wish is my command. Talk to him to accept the challenge. We start by putting in 2M hard cash. I’m sure it can get to 5M #Vurugu3,” Obinna posted.
“Salasya doesn’t really need the money; his opponent does. Let’s go!!!”
The proposed bout follows months of online exchanges between Kibe and Salasya. With Kibe now publicly accepting the challenge, attention shifts to whether Salasya will complete the required arrangements to make the fight official.
