▪️Battle looms large between Kombo, schoolboy Chris Juma and KDF’s Isaac Meja
March 27, 2026
Africa Zone 3 silver medallist Mwinyi Kombo aka Giant Killer has joined Kenya Police ahead of the National Open Boxing Championships scheduled for Nairobi Charter Hall from April 1-4, 2026.
Kombo has been boxing for Kenya Prisons before moving to the defending Kenya Open and National League champions nicknamed Chafua Chafua.
A silver medallist at the 2025 Africa Zone 3 Championships in Nairobi, Kombo is among the international boxers who have joined Police. Others are Zone 3 bronze medallists, featherweight Paul “Pacman” Omondi, light-welterweight Caleb Wandera and welterweight Wiseman Kavondo.
Omondi, Wandera and Kavondo have already been employed and currently undergoing training at Kiganjo Police College.
The cops are beefing up their team for the new season, and with Kombo on board, they’re well represented in the featherweight class.
Kombo is currently training in Mombasa and will join the cops next Monday in readiness for the National Open which starts on Wednesday.
Sparks will fly in the featherweight division with sensational form four student at Mwiki Secondary, Chris Juma, baying for Kombo’s blood. Isaac Meja is a likely choice for the soldiers who are playing their cards close to the chest.
Chris still believes he beat Kombo in the final of the 2024 Kenya Open at Green Park Terminus Hall.
“I want to prove I’m the best featherweight in Kenya, I’ve trained well ready for Kombo and others,” Chris, who will represent Ruaraka Youth, told boxersworld.co.ke. Kombo relinquished his featherweight title to Nairobi’s Michael Ndonga.
Chafua Chafua will be without Africa light-middleweight champion Boniface Mogunde owing to unavoidable circumstances.
In the absence of Mogunde, the cops can talk to Steve Olang to hold fort. Olang makes his pro debut tonight in the Kalakoda Promotions card.
