Mozambican international boxer, Alcinda Panguana, will be competing against China's Liu Chang in the round of 16 of the Olympic Games-2024 boxing tournament taking place in the French capital.

It's a big challenge for the Mozambican who will face the world champion in the 66kg category and one of the contenders for the gold medal at the Olympics.

Meanwhile, in her preview of the clash, Alcinda promised to give everything in the ring to emerge victorious again, after Sunday's emphatic 5-0 win over Slovakia's Jessica Triebelova.

In her second appearance at the Olympic Games, after Tokyo-2020, the Mozambican boxer is looking for her first medal in this global competition and to do so she needs to win today and in the quarter-finals.

Last night, Tiago Muxanga, in the 71kg division, was eliminated in the round of 16 after losing 3-2 to Mexico's Marco Verde.

It was an intense fight, with the Mozambican coming out on top in the second of the three rounds, according to "Notícias". It was the first Olympics in the career of the 23-year-old Mozambican international, Tiago Muxanga.
