The British Army member's double medal success comes on the back of him claiming silver in his first competition of the year, last month’s Scorpion Taekwondo Championship in England. 

"Many thanks to family and friends who always support me," he told the Malawi Nyasa Times following his win at the Army Combat Centre.

Guba, who holds a fourth Dan black belt in the sport from the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF), was named last year as the best senior taekwondo player for the military team.

The award was the second time he has been honoured for his performances in the sport, as he has also been named the third best British Military Sportsperson of the Year in the past.

Guba is currently stationed in Larkhill at the Royal School of Artillery as a phase two instructor.

The Malawian has been part of the British Army since 2007 and has continued to practice the sport during his time as a solider.

He attempted to represent his country at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro but was beaten in the first round of a qualification event in Morocco last February.

Guba lost 24-7 to Ivorian Firmin Dokou at the competition, ending his chances of becoming the first Malawian taekwondo player to compete at the Olympics.
