Published on November 21, 2019, the National Boxing League is in its final leg, with top favorites Kenya Police looking to retain their title at the Ofafa Memorial Hall in Kisumu.
With 93 points, Kenya Police have an unassailable lead that even a win by their arch-rivals, Kenya Defence Forces (34 points) or the resurgent Kibra (32 points), cannot bridge.
Boxing Federation of Kenya President Anthony 'Jamal' Ombok has urged boxers to take their matches seriously, while technical director Albert Matito emphasized that selection of players for the African Olympic qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal, will be based on merit.
The three-day tournament will feature trophies for outstanding players, coaches, and referees, as well as awards for the Best Players, Most Promising Players, Referee of the Year, and Coach of the Year.
BFK boss Ombok has also appealed to fans to turn up in large numbers to support their favorite teams.
