Boxing Association of Kenya is facing All Africa Games selection nightmare after some of its renegade members, led by the Kenya Police Service team, opted to stage their separate tournament in Nairobi this week.

BAK, however, insists the team to represent Kenya in Rabat, Morocco, from August 23 – September 3, will be named after the National Open tournament in Mombasa starting Wednesday through to Friday.
