Robert Okaka lost to Russian Bizhamov Dzhambulat in the quarter-finals of IBA Men’s World Championship in Dubai.
Okaka has said that the national boxing team will not thrive if the boxers continue competing only in Africa.
Kenyan boxers must get international exposure and change tactics if they are to match opponents from the rest of the world, light heavyweight boxer, Robert Okaka has said.
Okaka, who on Wednesday lost to Russian Bizhamov Dzhambulat in the quarter-finals of International Boxing Association (IBA) Men’s World Championship in Dubai, has said the game has evolved and Kenyan boxers can no longer rely on power alone to win bouts on the international stage.
