(MAR 10) Kenyan Conjestina Achieng (10-4-3) won
a non-title fight against Tanzanian Monica Mwakasanga (5-4-1)at Nyayo Stadium in Nairobi City. The Achieng displayed rare skills when she won in a 5th round TKO. Mwakasanga suffered a deep cut on her left eyebrow that forced the medics to advise the referee Shabaan Ogola to discontinue the fight.

Achieng in the first of three non-title fights she has to win to be considered for any title challenges showed a different self when she comfortably switched to southpaw stance to contain her opponent. Mwakasanga gave a good account of herself despite suffering a second round knockdown.

Mwakasanga kept her form by avoiding skillfully Achieng's hard right throughout the rounds. The Tanzanian left the ring bleeding profusely from a devastating hook from Achieng, vowing to return to Kenya for another encounter against her old foe. The two have fought three times before with the kenyan winning three and Mwakasanga one fight in Tanzania.
