Ghana's medal hopeful in the ongoing first Africa Amateur Boxing Cup of Nations in Gabon, Frederick Lawson, has leaped to the medal zone of the Featherweight division after beating a Beninois opponent yesterday.

The win secures the young boxer the opportunity to fight for the gold medal in his weight division on Friday.

Four other boxers of the Ghanaian contingent failed to make the medal mark at the championship after defeats in the knockout rounds.
