Kenya hope to take part in seven international championships that should shape the national boxing team ahead of next year's Olympics in France.

This comes after they missed featuring in the first leg of the ongoing Golden Belt Series in Marrakech, Morocco but hopes to travel to Slovenia for the second leg of the same tournament in July.

Boxing Federation of Kenya Communications Director Duncan Kuria said the first international assignment will be the ANOCA Africa Youth Championships next month.

It will be followed by Africa Zone Three Boxing Championships to be held either in Nairobi, Kenya or Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in April.

The team hopes to take part in World Women Boxing Championships in New Delhi, India from March 12-26 before they head to Uzbekistan for the World Boxing Championships on May 1-14.

Africa Cup of Nations Boxing Championships in July Yaounde, Cameroon follows ahead of Golden Belt Series in Slovenia.
