By AYUMBA AYODIMore by this AuthorNairobi Majengo’s Gabriel “Iron Shaffi” Mukundi is the new Mr. Kenya Bodybuilding champion. Heavyweight’s Mukundi out-flexed middleweight’s George Henry and Fred Sudhe from welterweight to win the title at the Nairobi Hospital Convention Centre Auditorium over the weekend. This is a dream come true for Mukundi, who ventured into bodybuilding in June 2016 when he won Mr. Kamukunji Talent Search Bodybuilding championship before setting his sights on Mr. Kenya. “When I won Mr. Kamukunji, I realized that my body was smaller hence I had to put on some muscles and I thank God my plan has worked,’ said the 28-year-old Mukundi, who went on to finish second in light heavyweight category during the 2016 and 2017 Mr. Kenya Bodybuilding championships respectively. Mukundi, who finished second during Mr. Kisumu in July this year where he was declared the most improved musclemen this year, said he added three more kilograms to a total 93kg before Mr. Kenya contest.
