REFUGEE Olympic team boxer Cindy Ngamba claimed a bronze medal after being beaten by Panama’s Atheyna Bylon in the women’s 75kg semi-final.

The British-based fighter lost by split decision but earned the Refugee Olympic Team’s first ever medal at a Games.

Ngamba was born in Cameroon and moved to Britain at the age of 11, but has faced challenges obtaining citizenship since and was at one point sent to a detention camp with her brother, Kennet, due to a paperwork issue.
