Ann Wanjiru (blue) from Kongowea receives a punch from Phanice Mwanaidi from Tranzoia during finals of National Boxing competition at Ofafa Hall in Kisumu on November 23,2019. He said time was not on their side to start and finish the league championships taking into account players need to rest and those injured require time to heal before the next league assignment. He pointed out that it would be difficult to complete the five legs of the league championships within six months for players and officials to effectively do their work. BFK’s events were stopped during the semi-finals of the National Novices Championships in Nairobi in March at a time the first leg of the National Boxing League was to kick-off in Kitale in April. The two boxers feature for Kenya Defence Forces and Kenya Police in the national league.
