This Jab Jab outfit is really heating up the female boxing scene in Africa...
People's Daily Online - An all-women international boxing tournament will be held in Nairobi in December, local promoters confirmed on Wednesday.
Jab Jab Promotions publicity manager Emma Christine said in a statement that the bouts to be staged on December 1 will feature five Americans, one Uganda, a Zimbabwean, a Zambian and a Kenyan.
The main fight will be the 10-round women's International Boxing Federation (IBF) title contest between World Boxing Council middleweight Yvonne Reiss of America and compatriot Leticia Robinson.
"This will be the biggest all-women fight this year in Africa and Jab Jab plans to broadcast proceedings of the event on wenppv.com. Weppv will broadcast to hand-held devices on a pay-per-view basis," said Christine.
Reiss will be coming to Kenya for the second time after visiting the east African nation in April and defeated Kenya's boxing star and former World Boxing Federation (WBF) middleweight champion, Congestina Achieng.
The 10 boxers will earn handsome price money (How much?) according to Jab Jab Promotions, a newly formed promotions company.
