Celebrated Kenyan boxer Sarah 'Angel of War' Achieng successfully defended her Commonwealth Super lightweight title at Nairobi Charter Hall on Friday night.
Achieng defeated Chiedza Homakoma of Zimbabwe in round eight of the ten-round duel on a Technical Knock Out. At the same time, Kenya's Consolata Musanga edged Salimat Tibesigwa of Uganda on points to win the eight round Pugilist Syndicate of Tanzania (PST) belt in the women's Super Bantamweight category.
This is the first title that seasoned Musanga is clinching in her over a decade career after so many futile attempts. "We are glad that our strategy for the fight worked out," said Achieng. [Ochieng Oyugi]
