This isn't Photoshop. This is the face of a champion wrestler who nearly died in a chimpanzee attack.
At just 6 years old, Dunia Sibomana was attacked by a pack of enraged chimpanzees in a DRC national park. They tore off half his face and killed his brother and cousin.
It was horrifying: both lips gone, part of an ear missing, a finger lost, muscles shredded, and deep scars everywhere. Because of how he looked, Dunia became an outcast. Kids bullied him. Adults looked away.
At 8, he was brought to the US for a charity program and underwent over a dozen life-changing surgeries. They rebuilt his lips and muscles using tissue from his forearm.
After being adopted, Dunia discovered freestyle wrestling. He gave it everything and succeeded. In just three days, he won two African Championship golds: first in the youth division (winning every match early, 33-1 total), then in the senior division ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Now 18, Sibomana is one of the most inspiring young athletes on the planet. He doesn't hide his face. He owns his story and trains like hell to be the best.
