The program will feature a lineup of both emerging and experienced fighters, promising competitive bouts and an atmosphere filled with excitement.

Placing sport at the center of the celebration underscores a commitment to nurturing growth and positive social values.

Residents have welcomed the initiative, describing it as a refreshing addition to Kabete’s social calendar. Local businesses are also expected to benefit from increased activity surrounding the event, demonstrating the economic impact of community-driven sporting occasions.

As the countdown to February 14 continues, anticipation is building across the constituency.
