Kenya national boxing team Hit Squad is grateful for the three week specialised training camp in Havana, Cuba as the team began their 2024 Paris Olympic qualification campaign on a high in Dakar,Senegal.

The Kenyan boxers had a good time in Cuba,rubbing shoulders with some of the best pugilists in the world like Julio Cesar De La Cruz who won a gold medal in the heavyweight bouts at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

The high level specialised training for team Kenya was birthed by Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba on 6th May this year in Nairobi,when he met Dr Antonio Becali,the President of the Cuban National Institute of Sport,Physical Education and Research (INDER).

In Dakar,captain Bonface Mugunde delivered a sweet win for team Kenya as he clobbered the 2016 Rio Olympics bronze medalist and current African middleweight champion Mohamed Rabii of Morocco.

Another win was registered by David Karanja who thrashed Thibaut Ngbandamale of Central African Republic in a preliminary round of the flyweight category.
