Muthoga, also known as “Don King” at the popular ‘Madison Square Garden gymnasium’ in Nakuru - which is considered the cradle of boxing in Kenya - drinks, eats and sleeps boxing. I am what I am today both physically and mentally because of boxing,” Muthoga said in Nakuru. “We were so committed to the game, and we took it game seriously and that is why a majority of us were successful boxers,” said Muthoga. One of the biggest motivation to boxers, says Muthoga, was the assurance that one would get a job after completing studies. Muthoga has spent virtually all his time promoting boxing at the Nakuru Boxing Club which has produced some of the best fighters in Kenyan boxing history.
