She also shared a video of herself sitting and chatting with a group of young girls.
Victoria, 43, said, "I'm just here hanging out with the girls talking about boxing and everything that they get out of boxing."
"How they find it empowering, how it's good for their fitness, their mind and how much they've changed since Sarah has been working with them.
"It's super interesting. And the girls have got big big dreams.
"We've got future lawyers, future doctors, future engineers, future artists, future surgeons."
She concluded, "The girls have got big dreams which is super nice to see."
In another video, Victoria is with a young girl called Grace, who says to the camera, "My name is Grace and I am 13 years old."

She captioned the video, "Empowering day in Nairobi with Grace and @sportrelief X Good night Kenya. Kisses VB."
