Digital creator and comedian Chebet Ronoh is set to trade her usual online banter for punches after being lined up to face fellow content creator Sheila Kiguta in an upcoming celebrity boxing showdown.
The two personalities have been announced as participants in Celebrity Fight Nights 3.0, where they are expected to make history in what organisers have described as Kenya’s first female celebrity boxing match.
The event is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, at The Alchemist in Westlands, Nairobi.
Organisers unveiled the pairing on social media, using a playful announcement to suggest that the two content creators were ready to take their online rivalry and personalities into the boxing ring.
The announcement has generated excitement among entertainment fans, particularly with the introduction of a female celebrity bout in the growing boxing series.
Ronoh, who is known for her outspoken personality and comedy content, will go head-to-head with Kiguta, another digital creator who has established an online following.
Introducing the matchup, organisers joked that the two women had decided their newsfeed was no longer enough, and it was time to settle things in the ring.
The bout is part of a wider entertainment programme featuring several other personalities, including Barak Jacuzzi, Alfayo Siwo, Brahim, ActuallyLumu, Peng and Eddie Grey.
