Wrestler Yaya Jammeh of The Gambia Police Force has won the Fabakary Tombong Jatta (FTJ), speaker of Gambia National Assembly bout's flag after beating Flex in just 40 seconds of the grand fight held at the Serrekunda West Mini-Stadium on Sunday.
The grand fight together with others was organised by Gumbo Gaye Promotion.
Tallinding Mbolo wrestler Flex, accelerated the bout from the referee's first whistle, hitting his opponent Yaya Jammeh on the face several times.
However, Sanyang based wrestler Jammeh resisted the storm, grabbing his opponent's wrapper before forcing his weight on him. Flex took some steps backwards in trying to resist but he was helplessly overpowered and sent to the ground.
Yaya Jammeh and his fans headed to Sanyang in a jubilant mood after winning the flag named after Honorable Fabakary Tomboung Jatta.

Meanwhile the much-anticipated bout between Boy Gaye of Ama Academy and Papa Sowe of Kuto could not take place following the latter's evaluation to hospital.
