Career[]
Mhura left the African country when he was five months old and has lived in Scotland since. He is a member of the Leith Victoria boxing club of Scotland. The 6'1 fighter fought for his native country Malawi at welterweight (69/152 lbs) at the Commonwealth Games 2006 where he lost in the second round to Nigerian Olufemi Ajayi.
He moved up a division afterwards and became the first Scot to win a European boxing medal since Scott Harrison in 1996. He lost the semi-final controversially on points to Azeri 18:23.
He has an eye condition which is threatening to end his amateur career.
In July 2013 Mhura was jailed for 6 years and 5 months for abducting and torturing a man for more than 20 hours over a sum that ran into the tens of thousands; he currently lives in Malawi.
