Who is Ambitious Tilapia?

Ambitious Tilapia is not just following in his father’s footsteps in terms of personality but also in boxing. In 2024, he achieved a major milestone by winning a silver medal at the African Games, surpassing his father’s achievements from 25 years ago.

Competing in the cruiserweight category, he secured a bronze medal in the semifinals, matching his father’s record. However, he went a step further by defeating Nathan Mbeli Ndlandu of the Democratic Republic of Congo to advance to the finals.

Despite his strong performance, he lost the final bout to Algeria’s Kanouni Ousama, who won with a 5-0 decision. Though he did not secure gold, his achievement added to his popularity.
