African Games 2023: Joseph Commey wins Ghana's second boxing gold medal

Joseph Commey has won gold at the African Games after defeating Zambia's Andrew Chilata in the men's lightweight final.

Commey won the lightweight contest via a unanimous decision.

The contest was far closer than Wednesday's semi-final contest.

That time, Commey dispatched Algerian Oussama Mordjane via a majority (4-1) decision in the men's 60kg event.

Gold at the African Games is Commey's second victory on the international stage having won silver at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.

Meanwhile, Commey's Black Bombers teammate, Mohammed Aryeetey, has also won gold in the men's Minimum weight division.

Aryeetey, a former national Flyweight champion, won via a unanimous decision.

Later tonight, Ghana's Amadu Mohammed will face Zambia's Mwale Mengo in the men's Bantamweight final.

In the Light Welterweight final, Samuel Takyi will face Zambia's Emmanuel Katema while Abubakar Kamoko, son of Braimah Kamoko, faces Algeria's Ousama Kanouni in the Cruiserweight final.
