Paris Olympics boxing: Cindy Ngamba wins ******** team’s first ever medal

Cindy Ngamba made history by guaranteeing the ******** Olympic Team a first Games medal as she reached the women’s boxing 75kg semi-finals.

The 25-year-old beat sixth-seeded Frenchwoman Davina Michel by unanimous decision in her last-eight bout.

With the two losing semi-finalists given bronze, the Cameroon-born fighter is assured of a medal at Paris 2024.

Ngamba moved to the *** aged 10, but cannot compete for Team GB because she does not have a British passport.

The ******** Olympic Team first competed at Rio in 2016, but prior to this year’s Games the team’s best result were two fifth-placed finishes in Tokyo through Hamoon Derafshipour in karate and Kimia Alizadeh in taekwondo.

Ngamba, who was the flagbearer for the ******** Olympic Team at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, next faces either Atheyna Bylon of Panama or Poland’s Elzbieta Wojcik.
