Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>For the first time, the Mozambican flag was hoisted in a world boxing championship, when yesterday (Thursday 19-05) Alcinda Panguane won an unprecedented silver medal for her country and for Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

After defeating former (2016) world champion Valentina Khalzova in the semis, the Mozambican boxer yesterday entered the ring fearless and in attack mode, but was surprised by some well-aimed strikes from Irish Lisa O\u2019Rourke, who won the first round in the evaluation of three out of the five judges.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the second round, Panguana continued to attack but the European under-22 champion\u2019s good footwork and two accurate left jabs again earned her the decision of three of the five judges in another split 3-2 decision.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Rourke kept attacking and won the final round 4-1, becoming the world champion in the 66-70 kg category.<\/p>\n

At the age of 28, Alcinda Helena Panguene won the silver medal and became world runner-up, flying the Mozambican flag high in Turkey.<\/p>\n

The Mozambican delegation will return next Monday with two podium places, Rady Gramani, having won the bronze medal in the 70-75 kg category.<\/p>\n

The two Mozambican boxers will now be on the route to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
