Pastor Kanyari lays hands on Mbavu Destroyer, prays for victory against Majembe
By Steve Ireri, April 3, 2026Salvation Healing Ministry founder Pastor Victor Kanyari has once again shown his support for rising boxer Mbavu Destroyer, this time going a step further by offering a public prayer for his victory ahead of the much-anticipated clash against Majembe.
In a video shared on TikTok on Thursday, April 2, 2026, Kanyari is seen praying for the boxer as Mbavu Destroyer knelt before him, with the televangelist laying hands on his head in a symbolic gesture of blessing and spiritual support.
The prayer session took place inside his Njiru-based church, drawing attention from followers who have been closely monitoring the build-up to the fight.
During the moment, Kanyari expressed confidence in Mbavu Destroyer’s chances in the ring, declaring that he would emerge victorious and even defeat his opponent in a dominant fashion.
He also rallied supporters to stand behind the boxer, urging fans to cheer him on as he prepares for the showdown.
“And I am praying now that Mbavu will be the one to win that boxing match. He will trash Majembe until Majembe is left shocked at what happened. Let us all cheer for Mbavu,” the preacher said.
This development adds to Kanyari’s earlier endorsement of Mbavu Destroyer, where he openly stated that he would back the fighter despite acknowledging that his technical boxing skills may still be developing.
“I do not like Majembe, and I want him to be defeated when they get to the ring,” he said.
The pastor noted that while Mbavu Destroyer may still be refining his punching technique, his promotional and marketing skills have impressed him.
Kanyari praised the way the boxer has built excitement around the match, drawing attention from fans and creating a buzz that even he could not ignore.
“I want him to be defeated by Mbavu Destroyer. The reason I am supporting Mbavu Destroyer is that I see he is a good marketer,’ he said.
Kanyari also explained that his support is partly strategic.
He believes backing a fighter who can successfully market his bouts, even if not yet the most skilled in combat, reflects the value of determination, planning, and creativity, qualities he finds admirable.
The pastor compared this level of commitment and campaign-building to initiatives in the church, noting that he wishes similar dedication could be replicated in spiritual leadership and community projects.
“He has marketed the fight so well that people will flock to watch it, even I have vowed that I will go and support him. He does not even know how to throw a punch properly, but I will back him,” he added.
