George Molwantwa won his first bout of the championships against Moustache Romani Roberto Angelo of Seychelles in the 54kg battle.<\/p>\n<p>Hard-hitting Mmusi Tswiigi beat Xayimpi Mandisile Jeffery of South Africa in the heavyweight category (71kg).<\/p>\n<p>Tswiigi utilised his experience from professional boxing after his recent debut where he emerged victorious against South African boxer, Simon Dladla. Botswana Boxing Association president, Gilbert Khunwane said it was unfortunate that Mahommed was eliminated so early in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is one person that we expected to go far in the championship looking at the experience he has in this type of competition. He is a former African champion,\u201d he said. Mahommed competed at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n<p>He also competed in the men&#8217;s flyweight event at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics where he lost to Yuberjen Mart\u00ednez of Colombia in the first round. Gold medallists from the Mozambique tournament will get $10,000 (approx.
