He had hanged up his gloves. But comeback middleweight Isaac ‘Zebra’ Sennyange has declared the forthcoming All Africa Games as a defining moment of his boxing career.
Sennyange, who had a stint in England with Addington Boxing Club, made a bold return to the ring in the national trials last month.
The stocky pugilist is one of the nine currently loading puching power and techniques for the All Africa Games due in Maputo Mozambique in September.
“I had lost hope because of the boxing wrangles. But I felt I still needed to do something for the sport,” Sennyange said at Lugogo yesterday.
“Now the Games are a defining moment for my career. I am giving it my very best because I am looking forward to the London Olympics,” the veteran vowed.
The team currently handled by coach Stephen Achiga and Charles Lubulwa, is sponsored by National Council of Sports.
“God willing we shall win medals and if we are to win gold, one should be mine,” Sennyange said hopefully.
Sennyange, who threw in the towel after losing in the National Open in 2010, bounced back in the trials last month.
