As the rains were heavily pounding Kenya's capital city Nairobi on Saturday night, one important activity was ongoing at the County's Charter Hall where boxing lovers had gathered to watch a bout after a long spell from the sport brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Inside the marbled and gigantic hall, at the centre,  stood a blue, red and white coloured ring where two ferocious fighters were baying for each other's blood.
