Budding boxer Brian Munyolo seeking to be first Kenyan male boxer to win a WBC title

Upcoming boxer Brian Munyolo has revealed his ultimate goal in the sport is to be the first Kenyan male to win a World Boxing Council title.

In the recent past, Kenya has produced great male boxers but there is none who has won the global title and with consistency, Munyolo believes he will be the one to put Kenya on the map.

Kenyan legendary male boxers include Aziz Ali, Evans Ashira, Richard Hero Murunga, and Fred Kinuthia among others.

In a post on his Twitter account, he said: “Insha’Allah I will be the first Kenyan male boxer to win a WBC title...that's my end goal in boxing.”

However, the women have been well represented by Fatuma Zarika, who became the first Kenyan to win a world title.

She won the final of the super bantamweight title over Jamaica’s Alisha Ashley during the 2016 edition of the World Boxing Council Competitions.

The 28-year-old began his journey as a professional boxer this year in January and he won his first-ever bout against Dennis Otieno.

After his first fight, Munyolo was over the moon and revealed that there was more to come. He said: “Alhamdullilah for winning my professional debut. I thank you all for the good wishes and appreciate those who showed up. On to the next one.”
