▪️ Olympic bronze medallist David Pina and Patrick Chinyemba likely to strike it rich in Dubai both eyeing $300,000
▪️Africa yet to win a medal since 2017 Men’s Worlds

The spirit of Pan-Africanism was very much alive between Cape Verde’s Olympic bronze medallist David Pina and Zambia’s African Games flyweight champ Patrick Chinyemba whey met in Dubai.
Their Paris Olympics quarter-finals clash was celebrated in Africa even before they fought.
Reason? One of them would advance to the semis to assure Africa of a medal in the bag.
The big question remained: who between the two would make it to the semis?
Pina outwitted Chinyemba to win Cape Verde’s first ever Olympic medal. He dropped a suspicious points defeat to Uzbekistan’s hero Hasanboy Dusmatov in semis. In Dubai, Pina has moved up to bantamweight
He still feels he beat Dusmatov, and is therefore relying on Chinyemba to avenge the Paris defeat.
“Dusmatov must fall in Dubai,” says Chinyemba.
