World Boxing Forum former welterweight champion Agness Mtimaukanena endured a bad outing on Christmas Box when she lost to Leila Yusuph Macho on points at Super Dome Arena in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on Thursday.
During the six-round non-title super middleweight bout, Mtimaukanena lacked strong punches to win the contest.
In contrast her opponent kept releasing a flurry of punches to be in control of the fight.
Mtimaukanena conceded defeat but declined that the loss has nothing to do with upgrading to a bigger weight division.
“It was a good fight being the only female contest of the night. I am comfortable with this weight class (super middleweight). I have learnt some things and I hope to bounce back strongly,” Mtimaukanena said.
