Winning the bronze medal at the 2021 ITTF African Championships in Yaounde, Cameroon is certainly the best moment for 17-year-old Samuel Boboye, who made his international debut at the event.

the bronze medal at the 2021 ITTF African Championships in Yaounde, Cameroon is certainly the best moment for 17-year-old Samuel Boboye, who made his international debut at the event.

He followed up his first round victory with another 4-2 win against Cameroon’s Nelson Nsoh Nji, setting up a Round of 16 tie with Egyptian veteran Ahmed Saleh. “After I won the second game, although I knew Saleh is a very good player, I wanted to give my best. I was leading the game, but I couldn’t keep it up. He is an experienced player, that’s how he defeated me, so I need more experience. However, it was a good experience for me,” Boboye toldHe went on to combine with Azeez Solanke to win the bronze medal in the doubles event after losing to Aruna and Bode Abiodun in the semi-final.

He first gained reckoning earlier in May, when he defeated Matthew Kuti in three straight sets to emerge the national cadet champion.
