With lightning-fast punches, world-class knockouts to rival that of the UFC, a loyal and growing fanbase in Africa’s most populous black country, Dambe is a goldmine waiting to be tapped and explored by the world.
The sport involves the use of a wrapped hand to box and the unwrapped hand to shield and has been traced back to ancient times of the spear and shield.
