According to Angop, it was by 'KO', in the last of the three conjectured rounds, that the Angolan beat the Congolese-democrat, who faced Kiana's gesture and ended up going to the ground, leaving him unable to continue the confrontation.

In addition to Adriano Kiana, Angolan Miguel Kembo also won a medal in the competition. Although he didn't win gold, it was in the 51 kilogram category that Kembo won silver.

Against his opponent Fabrice Valerie (Mauritius), the Angolan boxer ended up losing, by points, in the third round, and with this outcome in the final, he came second, thus winning the silver medal in that category, writes Angop.

In the competition, which is in honor of former South African president Nelson Mandela, the country was represented by boxers Nafetal Goma, Morais Orlando, Ernesto Gomes, Adriano Kiana and Miguel Kembo.

In total, 164 boxers from 42 countries participated in this competition.
