Okwiri set for a world title fight against Ghana's Suppey

Kenyan boxer Rayton Okwiri faces unbeaten Ghanaian Nathaniel Suppey in a November 28 WBA middleweight title fight in Nairobi.

After one year in the cold, former World Boxing Council Africa super middleweight champion Rayton Okwiri has clinched a date for a world title fight.

Okwiri is set to face Nathaniel Suppey of Ghana in a World Boxing Association (WBA) middleweight title fight at The Age, South C, Nairobi on November 28.

The Kenyan professional fighter is keen to win the match against the West African to keep alive his long-held dream of winning a world title before he hangs up his gloves.

“It comes at a time when I’m equally fit and ready for a serious match that should shape my professional career after a long lay-off from crucial bouts this year,” Okwiri told Standard Sports.

The Kenya Prisons Service senior sergeant boxer, who hailed the support he has received from his employers in the past seven years as a professional boxer, said he is ready for the eight-round fight.
