Takyi in an interview with the Ghana Olympic Committee said he was grateful to God for the historic feat. He said, he is however not settling for Bronze medal as he has signed a ‘convenant’ with God to win Ghana her first Olympic gold medal. I promised God I was going to win a gold medal so I’m going to focus on that and deliver it. Samuel Takyi defeated Colombia’s David Ceibar Avila to make the semi-final of the boxing event of the 2020 Olympic Games which guarantees him a medal, his country's first Olympic medal in 29 years. In a close contest that earned him a 3-2 victory over the Colombian, Takyi etched his name in Ghanaian Olympic history.
