Olympic-ready boxers at it in Majengo slum, Nairobi

The Olympics have begun, and for the next month the world is in China.

China holds 20% of the world's population, and with all the pre-Olympics coverage and hype, nobody wants to be left out, least of all the "street athletes" in Nairobi's Majengo slum, such as the chaps in the video: Bag an imaginary gold with a bit of boxing, and settle a score while you're at it.

The scene: Outside a pub selling "Busaa", a traditional fermented drink.

The boxers: The guy dressed in a white vest bumped into the other guy, who had just stepped out of the Busaa pub to urinate.
