Long after she took her gloves off, boxing legend Conjestina Achieng, 41, is waging the battle of her life. The crowd-puller swapped the ring for rehab years ago, but her resolve for mental stability has never been more tested. Weeks after she was moved from Nairobi West Hospital to Lower Kabete and now Diani, Conjestina’s condition has only gone from bad to worse, sources say. She spent close to a week at the Nairobi West facility before being taken to Eden House Rehabilitation Centre in Kabete. Conjestina met her waterloo in 2007, when she was stopped in Mombasa in the sixth round by Laura Ramsey.
