Kenyan boxers suffer defeat in Olympic qualifiers in Senegal

After a good start where he knocked out Africa's middleweight champion Mohammed Rabii of Morocco, Kenya's deputy captain Boniface Mogunde has exited Africa Olympic Qualifiers. Mogunde was beaten by Lesotho boxer Michael Pakela in the light middleweight clash at Dakar Arena Hall in Dakar, Senegal on Sunday. The exit of Mogunde came as a shocker to the Kenyan contingent in the West African capital who were hoping Mogunde could reach the medal bracket.
