To Kenyan boxers, the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games is one championship they’ll cherish years on end. The other two boxers were then All Africa Games lightweight gold medallist Patrick ‘Mont’ Waweru and welterweight Daniel ‘DK’ Kamau, who dropped in the first round of their bouts. And as the national boxing team heads to Japan for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, they are facing a daunting task of trying to replicate the performance of the 1988 squad. This time round, Kenya also has four boxers in the squad; two male and two female. Benjamin, who is one of the most talented youth coaches in the country, handled the Tanzania national boxing team during the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia.
