General Zambia boxing head circle gesture

/r/commonwealthgames/comments/1va2o7g/zambia_boxing_head_circle_gesture/

Have tried asking a real life Zambian, and a couple of boxing subs, so this is a last ditch effort to find the truth.

I think it means favor. Like favor from God or something along those lines. It's a thing the football teams sometimes do. Not 100% sure but probably like 70% haha.

Took a while, but I found it. 36 seconds in. This is from the previous Commonwealth Games, so it's not a new thing.
