Reuben Ndolo Recaptures Commonwealth Boxing Council Top Seat

Kenya’s Reuben Ndolo has reclaimed the Commonwealth Boxing Council presidency after winning elections in the UK with 34 out of 56 votes, defeating Canada’s Fredrick Stirrup and Australia’s Frank Hadley. Ndolo last held the post between 2000 and 2002.

In addition to his victory, Ndolo also earned the backing of seven out of twelve directors, who will serve alongside him until 2027.

Among Ndolo’s top priorities for the new term is the development of young boxing talent. European promoters are already collaborating on several projects, with the first set to begin in Mombasa.

Ndolo’s re-election comes just 16 days before the highly anticipated Nightmare in Nairobi event on November 21, which will feature top bouts including Fatuma Zarika vs Halima Vunjabei of Tanzania, Rayton Okwiri vs Muhammad Sebyala of Uganda, and Jamie Devine of the UK vs Christopher Osicho.
