Boxers from the four Kenyan cities were taught boxing lessons in the first edition of the National Schools and Youth Boxing Championships at Charter Hall in Nairobi on Saturday.

As the grassroots came to terms with Ndondi Mashinani Initiative, boxers from upcountry were due to compete in the finals in most of the bouts that fell between light flyweight (49kg) to welterweight(65kgs).
