Hand of God Promotions Uncovers New Talent in Nakuru Ahead of 'Rumble in The Rift'

Kenya’s growing boxing revival continues to gain traction, with the Ndondi Mtaani talent search and development program hosting its second clinic in Nakuru over the weekend.

Held at Flamingo Gym, the session built on the success of the inaugural clinic at Kivumbini Gym, attracting a larger and more energetic group of participants.

The increased turnout highlighted a rising interest in grassroots boxing, with more young athletes stepping forward to showcase their skills and embrace structured training opportunities.

Organised by Hand of God Promotions, the Ndondi Mtaani clinics are designed to go beyond routine training sessions.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to identify raw talent, nurture it through guided development, and create a clear pathway from community gyms to professional boxing platforms.

Participants are not only exposed to technical coaching but also introduced to the discipline, mindset, and structure required to succeed in competitive boxing.

The Nakuru clinics play a crucial role in preparations for the upcoming “Rumble in The Rift” fight event scheduled for May 1.

So far, five promising boxers have already been identified through the grassroots program and are expected to feature in the event.

This direct progression from local training sessions to a professional fight card underscores the initiative’s impact, demonstrating how community-level engagement can translate into real career opportunities for young fighters.

Beyond Nakuru, the Ndondi Mtaani program is anchored in a long-term vision to revive and restructure boxing across Kenya.

Plans are underway to expand the initiative to at least seven counties, creating a consistent and sustainable boxing calendar.

This approach aims to reconnect the sport with local communities while laying the foundation for a new generation of athletes capable of competing on both national and international stages.

From Kivumbini Gym to Flamingo Gym, the steady rise in participation, diversity of talent, and competitive intensity signals a sport regaining its footing at the grassroots level.
