Kibra Youth Boxing Initiative

Kibra Youth Club’s Clinton “Canelo” Omondi made a big statement of intent making his debut in the Kenya National Boxing League in Vihiga, Western Kenya. That was the third leg of the league.

Omondi, the African Youth Games bronze medallist, won the minimumweight final.

Inspired by his dominant show, Omondi has now dared the big boys in this weight class such as *Africa Zone 3 champion, Silus Onyango and Morris Kimani* , to meet him in Kisumu for the fourth leg.

“I’m not scared of any opponent in my weight,” says Omondi.

Founder and head coach of Kibra Youth Club, Edward Ogweno aka Dimbuts aka MbutaMtu, has confirmed Canelo will take part in the fourth and fifth legs of the national league.
