🏆 AFRICA’S EMERGING STARS
At only 10 years, the southpaw Gaddafi has a masterclass uppercut.
One of Africa’s Emerging Stars, Kallah Said aka Gaddafi (pictured), was in his true element once again winning boys 26-27kg title in the Nairobi Junior Championships which ended today, April 26, at Pal Pal Gym, Pumwani.
A standard five pupil at Mathare North Primary, Said put up an impressive showing to outpoint Lebron James of Kasarani.
Even Kenya’s national team head coach Musa Benjamin, former internationals Kenneth “Valdez” Ochieng, Maurice “Kawata” Maina and David Kiilu were all mesmerised by his potential especially his masterclass right uppercut.
“He’s throws the uppercut better than many senior boxers,” remarked Valdez whose former boxer he coached at Kayole Rapid, Kennedy Muiruri, is the coach of Gaddafi.
“The boy is good, he’s a boxer to watch,” said Muiruri who also coaches Africa Championships bronze medallist Aloice Vincent Ochieng and Kenya Open flyweight champion Diouf Muimi.
