Kenya’s boxing team, the hit squad has been in training from December 2020. The team is looking to qualify more boxers to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic game in the next qualifiers to be held in June in Paris France.
In the Africa qualifiers in 2020, two boxers, Nick Okoth and Christine Ongare punched their tickets to the games. Christine will be looking at bettering her 2018 Commonwealth games featherweight performance where she won a bronze medal despite a shoulder injury.
Nick Okoth who is the captain of the team, will be making a second appearance at the Olympic games after his debut in 2008 in Beijing, China. He lost in the first round to Arturo Santos Reyes.
