David Mwale

David Mwale (born February 12, 1999), better known by his nickname "Sniper," is a Zambian professional boxer who has held the WBC International bantamweight title since June 30, 2025. He is also a former African Boxing Union (ABU) bantamweight champion.

Early life Born on 12 February 1999, David Mwale found inspiration in boxing through his older brother, Adam Mwale, whose talent and dedication left a lasting impression on him. Adam’s untimely death at the age of 23 deeply affected David and became a defining motivation in his decision to pursue boxing seriously from the age of 12.

In 2012, David’s potential attracted the attention of Oriental Quarries Boxing Promotions, who began supporting both his athletic development and education. Their sponsorship helped ease financial pressures on his family and allowed him to focus on training while continuing his schooling. With their support, he later completed his secondary education at Mukamambo School, graduating in 2019 with a full Grade 12 certificate. On 31 January 2026, Mwale retained the WBC International Bantamweight title, defeating Ramadhan Pido by first-round knockout (KO) of a scheduled twelve-round bout at the Government Complex in Lusaka.
