Kenya’s Sarah “Angel of War” Achieng will take a shot at the vacant World Boxing Foundation (WBF) Women’s World super lightweight title on May 5, this year at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
Achieng, who saw her dream for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) super lightweight title last Saturday in Belgium cut short by a visa hitch, will now take on American Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes.
Achieng got a shot at the vacant IBF super lightweight against home boxer Oshin Derieuw upon retaining her Commonwealth super lightweight title on December 16 last year.
The 34-year-old Achieng, who has 15 wins and two losses (15-2-0), stopped Chiedza “Queen Tiger” Homakoma of Zimbabwe in the eighth round of the scheduled 10 round bout at Charter Hall, Nairobi.
WBF announced on its Facebook page that the 21-year-old Reyes, who has six wins, a loss and a draw (6-1-1), will take on the experienced Kenyan.
“The deal is done and the boxers have been informed. We are currently working on under-cards,” said WBF Africa coordinator George Adipo.
