Kenyan Olympic boxer Benson Gicharu is channelling his passion and dedication from the ring into art, in the hope of inspiring young people to pursue their dreams and strive for the best.

After boxing his way to the Commonwealth and Olympic games, Benson Gicharu’s new boxing ring speaks art, where he dedicates his time to drawing on canvas. In addition to the Olympics and Commonwealth games, Benson Gicharu has also participated in the All African Games and is a medalist.

His pieces illustrate the present and future of the African socio-economic, environmental and political landscape, through which he hopes to inspire the next generation of leaders to knock out barriers to equality.
