08 May 2016 at 04:26hrs | Views
NEWLY-crowned World Boxing Council welterweight silver champion Charles Manyuchi has declared himself as a real ZimAsset.
He says he now fully deserves a diplomatic passport after his victory over Dmitry Mikhaylenko.
That was Mikhaylenko's first defeat in a bout.
Manyuchi is due back in Zimbabwe tomorrow afternoon.
"I was always confident of defeating him and I thank God for this victory. I think I now deserve a diplomatic passport. I am a true Zim-Asset,".
Manyuchi's ring expertise made the judges' life a lot easier as they unanimously agreed the Zimbabwean had gotten the better of the highly-fancied Mikhaylenko – who until last Friday, was undefeated in 21 fights.
Judges Alexander Kalinkin (Russia), Barry Lindenman (US) and Lateef Muis (Nigeria) scored the bout 116-114, 118-110 and 115-113 all in favour of Manyuchi.
