Chebet Ronoh, Sheila Kiguta set for celebrity boxing showdown

Chebet Ronoh and Sheila Kiguta are set to headline Kenyas first female celebrity boxing match at Celebrity Fight Nights 3.0, as organisers expand the entertainment series to feature women.

Digital creator and comedian Chebet Ronoh is set to face fellow content creator Sheila Kiguta in what organisers describe as Kenya’s first female celebrity boxing match.

The proposed bout is expected to feature at Celebrity Fight Nights 3.0, the latest edition of Nairobi’s growing celebrity boxing series.

Organisers announced the matchup on social media, describing it as a historic showdown between two popular online personalities.

Other personalities named on the fight card include Barak Jacuzzi, Alfayo Siwo, Brahim, ActuallyLumu, Peng and Eddie Grey.

Celebrity Fight Nights debuted in November 2025 as Kenya’s first celebrity boxing event. It was created by HustleSasa in partnership with rapper and entertainer Barak Jacuzzi, bringing entertainers, media personalities and content creators into the ring for exhibition bouts.

The inaugural event was held at The Alchemist in Westlands, Nairobi, where Barak Jacuzzi defeated content creator Lumu in one of the headline fights.

The event returned for its second edition on June 28, 2026, also at The Alchemist. Barak Jacuzzi faced rapper Benzema in the headline bout, while actor Brahim Ouma took on DJ and producer MackLean.

Barak Jacuzzi won his fight, Brahim emerged victorious in the cage match, while musician Big Yasa defeated fellow musician Zeman.

The series has since combined boxing, music, comedy and social media culture to create a new entertainment attraction in Nairobi.
