Propose deletion per WP:GNG. The article has had no references or sources aside from a single external link to a boxing record database, and therefore no verifiable claim to notability, since its creation twelve years ago. It also appears to have been created by the article's subject (the username matches and only edited for a month after article creation on pages directly related to the article's subject). I could not find any verifiable, independent or reliable sources proving the subjects notability. This includes the claim made that the article's subject won gold at the 1994 African Games held in South Africa (which were in fact held in 1995 in Zimbabwe).

Delete Unsourced autobiography with dubious claims. Olympedia doesn't show anyone with that name ever competing at the Olympics. No evidence that either WP:NBOX or WP:GNG is met. No evidence he ever competed at any major event or won any significant titles. Papaursa (talk) 02:43, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
