The late Kenyan boxer Robert Wangila [photo courtesy]As the National Boxing Team head to 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Kenyan fans are asking who among the four qualified boxers will equal the record of former professional boxer Robert Wangila Napunyi? In other words, Kenya will be represented by two male and two female boxers at the Olympics. Can their performance in the two competitions give them hope of winning the second gold medal after Napunyi's though none of them has mentioned the prospects of clinching a gold medal at the Olympics?. Like Ongare, she also aims to become the first female boxer to win an Olympic medal within the female championships. The Russian Championships was her first international assignment outside Africa where she finished fifth in the female welterweight championships.
