The President of Kickboxing Federation of Nigeria, Abubakar Yakubu said the federation is awaiting positive response from respective companies ahead of the African Championships.

The Africa Kickboxing Championships, organized by the World Association of Kickboxing Organisation is scheduled for Yaoundé, Cameroon from March 19th to 24th, 2018.

Yakubu told aclsports.com that 26 athletes, two coaches, four referees and a physiotherapist would be invited to national camp scheduled for Calabar this week to finalise the team list.

The athletes were shortlisted based on their form and performance at the national trials held in December 2017 in Bayelsa.

The list of the selected athletes for camping are: Prince Epere, Olasunkami Ogundeji, Onyeka Uchejim, Erhahom Osarunwese, Chidi Orueousu, Hero Amechi, Michael Ayodele and Solomon Jegede in the low kick event.
