Undefeated middleweight Nathaniel Suppey (10-0, 9 KOs) will contest for the vacant WBA Africa Gold middleweight title against Rayton Okwiri on 28th November at the Edge Centre in Nairobi.
The 24-year-old will compete in his first fight abroad with a major regional title at stake.
Suppey will enter the bout having two wins under his belt in 2026 against Ahmed Akrong and a fight of the year bouts against Prince Kamaldeen Mohammed.
Having finished 9 out of 10 opponents, Suppey will look to showcase his knockout power when facing his Kenyan adversary.
Standing across from Suppey on fight night will be 40-year-old veteran boxer Rayton Okwiri.
Okwiri, also called ‘Boom Boom’, had a remarkable amateur career, securing a gold medal at the 2016 African Olympic qualification, which earned him a spot for the 2016 Rio Olympics where he advanced to the round of 16.
A year later, he made his pro debut and since then has won the WABA (World Alliance Boxing Association) and ABU (African Boxing Union) Middleweight titles.
Okwiri will bring a wealth of experience in both amateur and professional boxing against a younger Nathaniel Suppey who is aiming to win his first boxing title.
Also on the card, national super welterweight champion Musah Lawson is scheduled to face undefeated Argentine boxer Baltazar Noria in a bout scheduled for 10 rounds.
