Using boxing to help DRC’s 'outcasts'

Balezi Bagunda is known as Kibomango and his first love is boxing, but a lack of career options in the Democratic Republic of Congo meant that he became a soldier at 17. But when the government was overthrown in a coup, Balezi found himself destitute and forced into hiding. He tells Emily Webb how he went from sleeping in a football stadium to creating a boxing club inside that stadium for other people who are looked at as outcasts.
