Aiwex Sports Celebrates Growth of Nairobi Fight Nights
“As the Organizer and main promoter of the Nairobi Fight Nights, I am happy with the journey we have had,” said an elated Aiwex Sports representative. “To hit the one-year milestone in our August event and, in the following September edition, to be able to stage a 10-fight card with two international fights to end the night was quite the spectacle.
The boxing fans have stayed loyal to the movement, and the turnout last night showed the numbers. With Odibets live streaming, even more fans got to follow the action from the comfort of their TV, laptops, or phones. As we move to our second venue at Vineyard on September 18, we look forward to unlocking more boxing talent and expanding the fanbase across the city.”
