Kenyan boxing star Elly Ajowi says he will continue chasing his elusive Olympic dream even as COVID19 situation threatens the imminent collapse of the sporting industry globally. The national team mainstay and Police heavyweight was hoping to seal a maiden Olympic slot in Dakar, Senegal last year but his spirited campaign came a cropper. After failing in his bid in Dakar, Ajowi also hoped for the last chance in the final World Qualifiers in Paris which were also called off. The essence is to keep the body in good physical conditioning for now until things improve,” said Ajowi. Globally, the pandemic has since culminated into the suspension of Olympic Boxing qualifying events, leaving pugilists shrouded in confusion.
