Kenya continued on a recovery path in the boxing arena. Eight years earlier in 2002, Kenya had left the games without winning a single bout. In 2006 the Kenya boxing team improved to 3 bronzes. And in 2010, Kenya improved further winning 1 silver and 2 bronze medals.<\/p>\n<p>The silver medal came from Benson Njagiru Gicharu. The bronze medals came from Joshua Ndere Nakonjio and Nick Okoth. For Okoth, the bronze medal was awarded belatedly after his quarter-final opponent, Manju Wanjarachchi was banned for doping.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua Makonjio Ndere had also won a bronze medal in the 2006 edition. Tragically, 2010 was the last time he represented Kenya at a major tournament. Ndere, a product of Muthurwa Dallas boxing club and a soldier in the Kenya army, passed away in a road accident on Mombasa road in November 2011.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/boxing\/cw\/cw10-1.jpg\" alt=\"Benson Gicharu: Flyweight Round 2: Beat Camillo Kaikai of Papua New Guinea 11-3 Quarter-Final: Beat Dexter Jordan of Guyana 8-0 Semi-Final: Beat Oteng Oteng of Botswana 5-4 Final: Lost to Suranjoy Singh of India by walkover Joshua Makonjio Ndere: Light Heavyweight Round 2: Beat Rodney Prosper of Mauritius 11-6 Quarter-Final: Beat Dane Mulivai of Australia 7-4 Semi-Final: Lost to Tommy McCarthy of Australia 9-4 Nick Okoth: Bantamweight Round 2: Beat Benedict Telovae of Solomon Islands (referee stopped contest) Quarter-Final: Lost to Manju Wanjarachchi of Sri Lanka 10-1 Manju Wanjarachchi was later disqialified for failing a drug test Nick Okoth was promoted to bronze Joseph Njogu Ndungu : Lightweight Round 1: Beat Cobia Breedy of Barbados 12-1 Round 2: Lost to Waheed Shogbanmu of Nigeria 4-3 Black Moses Mathenge: Light Welterweight Round 1: Beat Hashim Simon Petro of Tanzania 5-1 Round 2: Beat Chimwemwe Chiotcha of Malawi 7-0 Quarter-Final: Lost to Manoj Kumar of India 6-2 Elly Ajowi: Heavyweight Round 2: Beat David Aloua-Rogers of New Zealand (referee stopped contest) Quarter-Final: Lost to Awusone Yekeni of Ghana 7-3 Michael Nakafwa: Super Heavyweight Round 2: Lost to Tobias Munihango 4-0 Dick Ombaka: Middleweight Round 2: Lost to Vijender Singh of India (referee stopped contest) Peter Warui: Light Flyweight Round 1: Lost to Amandeep Singh of India 6-2 Rayton Okwiri: Welterweight Round 1: Lost to Aston Brown of Scotland 8-3\" width=\"486\" height=\"720\" \/><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/boxing\">Kenya Boxing Page<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/kenya-sports-commentary\/kenya-boxing-results-at-the-2010-commonwealth-games\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2010 Commonwealth games were held in New Delhi India.
