Kenya’s stylish lightweight boxer Nick Okoth will be going for gold at the forthcoming 2017 AIBA World Boxing Championships slated to throw off on August 25 in the city of Hamburg, Germany. Muchoki is the only Kenyan to have laid his hands on a gold medal at the AIBA World Championships. Okoth, who qualified in the recent Congo Brazzaville qualifiers, will team up with Police duo of John Kyalo (middleweight) and Shaffi Bakari (light-fly) in the Kenya team. But the game plan will be, to first prevail in preliminary rounds and see where the draws place me,” said Okoth. IOC President Thomas Bach is among the invited guests at the AIBA World Championships in Hamburg.
