Kenyan boxers are confident of winning the overall title at the upcoming Africa Zone Three Boxing Championships in Nairobi, less than four weeks away. This confidence comes after rigorous training and past victories against opponents, with the team preparing to showcase their skills at the upcoming National Boxing League in Nakuru next week.

• Edwin Okong’o, Africa Games middleweight gold medallist, expressed certainty in securing an overall victory at home.
• Kenya is expected to field two teams as hosts, similar to Democratic Republic of Congo in 2023, providing more local exposure for pugilists.
• Bantamweight Shaffi Bakari, a silver medallist in Kinshasa two years ago, is prioritizing the league championships to open doors for future international assignments.

A strong squad of 29 players will represent Kenya at the upcoming International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) Handgun World Shoot Championship in South Africa, starting Tuesday next week until September 28. This follows a successful Pre-World Shoot competition held at Bamburi Rifle Club (BRC) in Mombasa.

• The championship is a highest Level V competition on the IPSC match calendar.
• The Kenya Sports Shooting Federation (KSSF) organized the local competition, involving participants from Kenya Defense Forces (KDF), National Police Service (NPS), Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI), and civilians.
• Winners in various divisions included Sunny Syan (Open Division, 1,025 points), Geoffrey Pesa (PCC Optics, 991 points), and Pravir Vohra (Production Optics Division, 1,055 points).
