There is usually more pressure fighting at home. However, home advantage is always a plus. I\u2019m a very polite boxer but in the ring, I have a different personality. I have been training well and, hopefully, the fight will be great,\u201d said Achieng\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Covid-19 has been a real challenge since my last fight in 2019. We have had good training sessions nevertheless. I thank 22Bet for the opportunity and platform to further my career in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kenya Professional Boxing Commission (KPBC) chairman Reuben Ndolo said: \u201cWe are very optimistic that Sarah will mount a successful onslaught and I call upon Kenyans to rally behind her. KPBC applauds 22BET Kenya for choosing to be our partners in pro-boxing and we assure all stakeholders of our cooperation at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Achieng has been training under Alfred Analo aka \u2018Ire Priest\u2019 at the Box Girl stable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Box Girl, we are a tool to empower girls and women in general.

We have had an engagement with Rayton Okwiri and we are proud to partner with the boxing body for two more matches in February.
