The participation of ‘Hit Squad’ at the second World Cup in China next week is a boost for Kenyan boxers whose ambitions are on their qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

The event is meant to shape boxers in several international assignments across the globe as they get ready for their respective Continental Olympic Qualifiers starting early next year.

Kenya will take part in Africa Olympic Qualifiers (AOQ). The Olympic Qualifiers are under the auspices of WB, which obtained temporary supervisory rights from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after they (IOC) differed with the International Boxing Association (IBA) on a number of management issues.
