Maganga in maiden win at World Boxing championships

Hezron Maganga defeated Polynesia Tetoofa Henere as Hit Squad, the national boxing recorded their first win at the World Boxing Championship victory since 2013.

Maganga was top at the Humo Arena in Tashkent Uzbekistan as he plans to play to the medal podium, stating that the win has accorded him the incentive and inspiration he needs to stamp authority in his subsequent bouts.

Maganga reckons he has amassed sufficient expertise and experience in his repository to get the job done and dusted.

The towering ferocious puncher comprises the stellar Kenyan contingent that set foot in the land-locked South Asian country on Monday for the premier global boxing bonanza that officially opened its doors on Sunday.

The event runs from April 30 to May 14 with a star-studded ensemble of boxers drawn from all five continents punching ferociously for titles and honors in the cutthroat bouts.

Another Kenyan pugilist Joseph Shigali lost on split points to Ibrahim Omar of Gambia in light welterweight.

Before Maganga’s historic feat, Kenya had encountered a decade-long drought on the rugged terrain of the premier global boxing showpiece.

Decorated pugilist Rayton Okwiri recorded the country’s last win in Almaty, Kazakhstan 10 years ago, where he sent Australian Daniel Lewis to the gallows to halt a previous 25-year drought.
