As the countdown to the Olympic Games in Paris continues, there is even more pressure not only on Kenyan boxers, but all boxers across the continent as they chase the elusive tickets to the Olympics.

It has not been smooth sailing for African boxers and as they head to Bangkok, Thailand for the second leg of World Olympic Qualifier, Africa is holding its breath for the boxers with the continent in danger of having very few boxers at the Olympics.
