▪️He was just too strong for his Ongata Rongai clubmate
Kenya’s youth international Brian “Brayo” Arianda is back from Bangkok with vengeance.
Putting behind his loss in the Futures U19 tournament, Arianda put up a dominant show to stop his Ongata Rongai clubmate, Alphonce Otieno, after only 33 seconds of the first round in this flyweight bout during the The B-Boxing Dynasty Boxing Cup first leg on March 28, 2026, at the Sheria Mtaani Wellness Centre.
He carried the fight to Otieno from the first bell, shaking him with heavy shots that spelt doom for his opponent. In the course of close-quarter exchanges Arianda released a right cross which exploded on Otieno’s face for an eight count.
On realising Otieno was still unstable and groggy the referee wisely stopped the fight.
“That’s a morale boosting win for me, I fought my clubmate because no opponent of my age was available,” said Arianda.
The 16-year-old Arianda made his international debut in the Futures Cup U19 tournament in Bangkok this month, losing to Turkey’s Mahammet Ali in the round of 32.
