Flyweight Emily Juma admitted that the (training) sessions have been at a higher level compared in the past to ensure they easily beat their opponents.

"We have had all the time to be taught on how to counter attacks from our aggressive opponents. We cannot say we are at the peak but that will be known by the results we achieve at the end of the tournament," she said.

A squad of 11 boxers training under the tutelage of three coaches have been training at Mathare Police Depot for the past two months in readiness for the tournament.

The technical bench is led by head coach Musa Benjamin and his two deputies David Munuhe and John Waweru.

Bantamweight Amina Martha said she is equally ready to make an impressive debut at the upcoming event.

"The morale in the camp is unmeasurable," said Martha.
