Media personality Carol Radull has today given an update on Kenyan boxing champion Conjestina Achieng alias ‘Conje’.
Ten years ago‘Conje’ was on the verge of 'vanishing' as she faced financial and mental health issues since she left boxing in 2011.
Her career came to a sudden end when she started suffering mentally.
In September 2022, the boxing champion was admitted to Mombasa Women Empowerment Network Hospital in Miritini.
She had been admitted to various facilities after her health and mental status deteriorated.
Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had come to the aid of the boxing champion after he visited her while she was at the hospital.
Sonko gifted her with boxing equipment and admitted Conjestina to several rehabilitation centres including Nairobi County rehabilitation centres, Parklands, and Diani Beach.
Eight months down the line, Conjestina appears to be on the right track to recovery.

"Work in a gym awaits her upon completion where she will be training young boxers. Thank you Mike Sonko.We never give up!" she said.
