Ghana’s Samuel Takyi is on the brink of securing his second medal in a major tournament, having clinched a berth in the men’s Light Welterweight final.
Takyi advanced with a majority decision victory over John Paul Masamba in Thursday’s semi-final bout.
Despite a tight contest, four judges sided with the Ghanaian, while one judge favoured the South African in the 63kg showdown.
Regardless of the outcome in the final – whether Takyi claims gold or settles for silver – he is set to add to his bronze medal from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
In another impressive display, Abubakar Kamoko, son of Braimah Kamoko (Bukom Banku), booked his place in the men’s Cruiserweight final with a split decision win over Nathan Mbeli Nlandu.
