Four Kenyan boxers have another chance of qualifying for the Rio Olympics. This follows their invitation to the World Boxing Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, in June.

Boxing Association of Kenya (BAK) President, John Kameta, said the four were invited due to their performance in the last African Olympic qualifiers in Younde, Cameroon, last month.
