Unbeaten Boxer Juma Targets Continental Title in Next Bout

Kenyan boxing sensation Juma is preparing for a high-profile bout that could earn him a shot at the African continental middleweight title, seeking to extend his flawless 12-0 record with 9 knockouts.

The 25-year-old has been training at a camp in Nairobi under veteran coach Mohamed Hassan. “Juma has something special. His work ethic is incredible, and he has the natural ability to go all the way,” Hassan told reporters.

The upcoming fight will be broadcast live on local television — a rarity for boxing in Kenya that speaks to growing commercial interest in the sport.

Juma’s rise has helped spotlight Kenya’s boxing scene, which has historically been overshadowed by athletics and rugby. Boxing Kenya has invested in grassroots talent identification programmes, and Juma’s success is inspiring a new generation of fighters.
