The Boxing Federation of Kenya (BFK) have alleged a deliberate plot to dim the stars of Kenyan boxers on the international stage.
Speaking on Wednesday, BFK director of communications, Duncan 'Sugar Ray' Kuria claimed Kenyan boxers get unfair treatment abroad due to skewed decisions that favour a few countries, which enjoy undue patronage.
Kuria said if left unchecked, the worrying trend could completely lock the country's gallant fighters from the winners' podium.
He appealed to the International Boxing Association (IBA) to seek ways of addressing grave concerns constantly raised by member states.
"There are numerous challenges to do with governance which need to be addressed by the International Boxing Association (IBA)," Kuria said.
To support his assertions, he cited a recent incident involving a Kenyan boxer against an Algerian.
"A good example is during the just-concluded IBA World Boxing Championships in New Delhi, India, where one of our team members Frizzah Anyango fought against a very good boxer from Algeria known as Imane Khelif," Kuria stated.
"Khelif happens to be the African champion. During the Africa Olympic qualifiers, she won gold and repeated the same feat during the Africa Championships. She also won a silver medal during last year's World Championships in Turkey."
Kuria claimed that this time around the Algerian pugilist won her first bout unfairly against Hit Squad's Frizzah Anyango because the referee halted the bout prematurely without a justifiable cause.
"We never got to understand why the fight was stopped. Khelif eventually defeated three other boxers to progress to the finals. Unfortunately for her, she was not allowed to participate in the finals. I was one of the first people to discover she was not going to fight after getting information from an insider."
Kuria said on enquiring why Khelif would not be in the finals yet she had felled her opponent in the semis in broad daylight, they were told that a DNA test conducted earlier revealed inconsistencies in her gender eligibility.
"Incidentally, this was the second test they had conducted on her. Last year in Istanbul, a similar test revealed similar results. We were left wondering how they allowed our girl to fight her under the circumstances.
"This clearly shows there are some administrative issues because we fail to understand why the organizers would allow someone to compete all the way and use such technicalities to eliminate her when she has already qualified for the finals."
He said the Kenyan camp felt aggrieved by the decision because the first person the Algerian eliminated from the competition was a Kenyan.
"We can confidently state that our boxer didn't get a fair chance. The complaints previously raised by IOC about dubious governance in IBA came into play with this decision. They shouldn't have allowed the Algerian to compete if they already knew the outcome of the DNA results from previous tests."
"Countries spend a lot of money sponsoring boxers to international competitions and it is quite unfair for us to send a female team only to be paired against a man."
