By missing the league championships for the second time, defending champions Kenya Police have shattered their dreams of retaining the National Boxing League title for the seventh consecutive year.

The policemen are not taking part in the league championships that ends in Embu this afternoon after missing the first leg in Kisumu in June.

Former champions Kenya Prisons are equally not in Embu after missing the second leg of the league championships in Mombasa last month but attended the one in Kisumu.

As a result, their archrivals Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) are expected to clinch the title easily for the first time in six years.
