Mahama Cho has no regrets about choosing taekwondo over a potential “lavish” football lifestyle and hopes inspirational advice from Kolo Toure can spur him on to Olympic glory. Heavyweight fighter Cho is preparing for his second successive Games after edging out two-time Olympic medallist Lutalo Muhammad for a spot in Team GB’s squad for Tokyo. “As much as I love football; football we all know you need 11 guys up to shape and if a couple of you are not on point that could be the weakness for them to get that victory. Like Toure, Cho was born in the west African country of Ivory Coast. “We (Britain) have never had an Olympic taekwondo male gold medallist before and there’s an opportunity here to be able to make history and I hope to God that when I go out there history will be made.”
