Chebet Ronoh and Sheila Kiguta are lined up for a proposed celebrity boxing bout.
Organisers have named Chebet Ronoh and Sheila Kiguta for a proposed bout at Nairobi’s Celebrity Fight Nights 3.0.
Chebet Ronoh and Sheila Kiguta could face off in what organisers describe as Kenya’s first female celebrity boxing match. The proposed bout would feature at Celebrity Fight Nights 3.0 in Nairobi.
Organisers announced the pairing on social media, presenting it as a landmark contest between the two online personalities. Ronoh is a digital creator and comedian, while Kiguta also creates online content.
The announced card also names Barak Jacuzzi, Alfayo Siwo, Brahim, ActuallyLumu, Peng and Eddie Grey.
Plans for female celebrity boxing
The proposed Ronoh-Kiguta contest follows earlier plans to bring women into the celebrity fight series. Ahead of the second edition, Barak Jacuzzi said he wanted to introduce a female category as the brand expanded.
Podcaster Mariah also called for a women’s edition after the second event. Her appeal added to the push for female personalities to take part in the boxing programme.
If confirmed, the matchup would put those plans into action at the series’ third edition. It would also give Ronoh and Kiguta a prominent place on a card featuring entertainers and content creators.
A growing Nairobi entertainment series
HustleSasa created Celebrity Fight Nights in partnership with rapper and entertainer Barak Jacuzzi. The series launched in November 2025 as Kenya’s first celebrity boxing event, bringing entertainers, media personalities and creators into exhibition bouts.
The Alchemist in Westlands hosted the inaugural edition, where Barak Jacuzzi beat content creator Lumu in a headline fight. The series then returned to the same venue on June 28, 2026.
At that second edition, Barak Jacuzzi defeated rapper Benzema in the headline bout. Meanwhile, actor Brahim Ouma won a cage match against DJ and producer MackLean, and Big Yasa beat fellow musician Zeman.
The series combines boxing with music, comedy and social media culture. Other celebrity contests have also drawn attention in Kenya, including Vurugu II at the Sarit Expo Centre in June 2026. At that event, Ugandan internet personality Shakib Cham defeated Kenyan singer Arrow Bwoy by technical knockout.
