The 2006 Commonwealth games were held in Melbourne Australia. Kenya’s performance was a drastic improvement over the disaster that was the 2002 games where no Kenyan won a single bout. This time Kenya sent a squad of 10 boxers. 7 of them won at least one bout. Kenya ended with three bronze medals. Though it is a far cry from the 1980s and 1990s when Kenya were Commonwealth games champions, it was a welcome result for boxing followers in Kenya.<\/p>\n

The three bronze medals were won by Light welterweight Black Moses Mathenge, Lightweight Charles Menya and Light Heavyweight Joshua Ndere Makonjio. Kenya finished 13th in the boxing medal standings<\/p>\n
