Achieng wants to face Cameron for WBC title

Kenya’s World Boxing Foundation (WBF) champion Sarah “Ängel of War” Achieng has now declared that she is ready to go for the WBC super lightweight title and challenged reigning champion Chantelle Cameron for a battle.

Achieng made history as the third Kenyan to win a world boxing title when she claimed the World Boxing Foundation (WBF) title on Saturday.

The reigning Commonwealth Boxing Council (CBC) super lightweight champion beat Edith Soledad of Argentina on unanimous points decision of 97-93, 97-92 and 98-92 in a 10-round contest held at the Charter Hall, Nairobi.

“I am calling upon Cameron to face me in the ring. I believe my victory is a big statement that I can challenge for something big. My coach Alfred “Priest” Analo has really worked hard on my training regime to ensure that I deliver this sweet victory,” said Achieng.

Achieng is now ranked among Kenyan best female boxers alongside Fatuma Zarika, who once held the World Boxing Council (WBC) world female super-bantamweight title and Conjestina “Hands of Stone” Achieng who won the WBF and Women’s International Boxing Federation (WIBF) titles.

The 34-year-old boasts an impressive record of 16 wins and two losses (16-2) and holds four belts - the WBF, CBC, Universal Boxing Organisation (UBO) and the Kenyan title.
