[Jonah Onyango, The Standard]The cohesion in the executive committee of Boxing Federation of Kenya is the drive that has seen the effective performance of the National Boxing Team in the recent international boxing championships. The BFK led by President Anthony ‘Jamal’ Ombok was elected into the office in 2019 and has since involved the national boxing team in a number of international matches. International referee cum judge Nelson Otieno said proper planning by the national boxing governing body is what has seen several appointed Kenyan officials and teams do well in international championships. The past year has seen a number of coaches get trained by International Boxing Association (AIBA) certified experts in workshops. Kenya recently took part in the Konstatin Korotkov Memorial Boxing Championships hosted in the city of Khabarovsk, Russia where they won two bronze medals from a representation of four boxers.
