During Kenya's golden era between 1960 and 1980, the country won eight gold medals at the All Africa Games held in Nairobi in 1987 and enjoyed further success the following year when Robert Wangila became the first ever African boxer to win an Olympic gold medal.
Otieno said gone are the days when Kenyans took great pride in the success their boxers enjoyed on the international scene, adding that boxing at the domestic level at present goes unnoticed since the standards stagnated.
He sent a plea to the national officials of the Boxing Association of Kenya (BAK) to honor retired international boxers, "not only the four or five that are always acknowledged because there are many out there."
