Africa light-heavyweight bronze medallist Robert Okaka aka Man Man Ngori scored his third consecutive victory over Humphrey “Jakababa” Ochieng in the second leg of the Kenya National Boxing League which ended on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at the Alliance Francaise in Mombasa.

“I have said it before I’m the best in my weight, I proved it in Mombasa,” Okaka told boxersworld.co.ke.
Efforts to get Jakababa’s views were unsuccessful. It’s indeed a painful defeat for the Police boxer losing to the KDF soldier three times consecutively.
All is not lost for Jakababa. He can still redeem himself in the third leg of the league in Molo.
In some of the other highlights, KDF’s Africa Military Games bantamweight champion Dennis Muthama made no secret about his intention to take over the 54kg weight class with a neat points victory over Africa bronze medallist Shaffi Bakari of Police while Mwinyi Kombo failed to roar at home losing the featherweight final to Paul Omondi of Police in the finals.
Winners in the finals returned home with Sh12,500 and losers 11,500. Mombasa Cement Company gave each finalist Ksh10,000 while Alliance Francaise’s token of appreciation was Sh2000 for winners in the finals and Sh1,500 for the losers. Kudos for inspiring the boxers.
Defending champions KDF, who missed the first leg of the league, won the second leg with 21 points followed by Police 18, Nakuru County 12, Kibra 8, Nairobi County and Prisons tied on the fifth place with 7 points each.
Heading to the third leg of the league, Police remain at the top with 41 points, KDF and Nairobi County are jointly second on 21 points each while Kisumu County and Nakuru County are third each with 12 points.
