Zahara Totto says she had plenty of support behind the scenes during her celebrity boxing match against Prima Kadarshi—and some of it came from fellow celebrities.
The media personality has revealed that several people in Uganda’s entertainment industry contacted her before and after the bout, with some allegedly encouraging her to defeat Prima.
Prima was officially declared the winner after the weekend fight, but Zahara continues to dispute the decision, insisting that she did enough to win and alleging that the judges were influenced to hand the victory to the singer.
According to Zahara, some industry figures were particularly pleased that she had agreed to face Prima.
“Many industry people called me and thanked me for fighting her. Many of them thanked me and even before the fight, they called and told me to thump her. People here on ground hate her.”
Zahara also singled out singer Lydia Jazmine, claiming she contacted her before the fight and encouraged her to take the opportunity seriously.
“Jazmine told me frankly that she knows I can beat her and that I should punish her and I did, but the judges gave my victory away. They were bought.”
The allegation that the judges were “bought” is Zahara’s claim; no independent evidence supporting that allegation was provided in the supplied account.
Zahara said Lydia remained supportive after the bout, revealing that the two later went out together at Vanquish Bar.
The media personality maintains that the official result did not accurately reflect what happened inside the ring, despite Prima being declared the winner.
Her latest comments add another layer to a celebrity boxing match that has continued to generate discussion beyond the final bell, with Zahara now highlighting the behind-the-scenes encouragement she says she received from people within the entertainment industry.
