Kenya is looking to send more boxers to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games as the team intensifies its preparation ahead of the qualification round in Paris in June.

The boxing team, popularly known as the 'Hit Squad', is currently undergoing training in Nairobi with an aim of getting more slots compared to the three the country secured in the 2016 Rio Games.
