Serge Ambomo
Serge Ambomo (born 2 July 1986 in Ngoksa) is a Cameroonian boxer.[1] He competed in the light welterweight event at the 2012 Summer Olympics and was eliminated in the round of 32 by Yakup Şener.[2] After his defeat, he was one of seven Cameroonian athletes who disappeared from the Olympic Village.[3] After appearing at a local boxing gym a week after his disappearance along with four other boxers, he applied for asylum in the UK. His first application failed, but he was later allowed to stay in the UK.[4]
He turned professional in November 2013, starting his career with a points win over Matt Seawright on 30 November 2013. He has boxed regularly since, amassing a total of 51 bouts on his record. He currently lives in Sheffield.[5]
