Legacy Rise Sports, led by CEO Sharaf Mahama, is set to thrill boxing fans with the much-anticipated “Battle of the Beasts” fight night.
Scheduled for Friday, June 13, at the iconic Bukom Boxing Arena, the event promises world-class action, with local and international boxers battling for supremacy.
At a press conference held at the Multichoice Office in Achimota, Mr. Mahama expressed his commitment to giving Ghanaian boxers the global exposure they deserve.
He commended all the foreign boxers who traveled to Ghana to be part of the event and extended gratitude to the sponsors and partners who are making the night possible.
Renowned trainer Coach Ofori Asare of Wisdom Boxing Gym highlighted the importance of fair officiating, especially in the highly anticipated bout between his fighter, Theo Allotey (aka Lopez), and Daniel Selassie Gorsh, who will be defending his WBO Africa Bantamweight title.
Asare described Allotey as a seasoned fighter whose experience and transition from amateur to professional ranks make him the right contender for the title.
“Boxing is not about trash talk—it’s about delivering in the ring,” Asare said, adding that his fighters are ready to impress fans with dominant performances.
Also on the card, Haruna Mohammed (aka Thunder) will defend his National Cruiserweight Title against Abdulai Ahmed from Fit Square Gym.
Coach Carl Lokko of Bronx Boxing Club emphasized his gym’s reputation as the “house of champions,” stating that although his boxers often miss out on amateur national team selections, they consistently shine at the professional level.
In his brief but confident remarks, reigning WBO Africa champion Daniel Gorsh promised fireworks, declaring, “On the D-day, we shall see who is who.”
The main attraction of the night will see Ghana’s Jacob Dickson (aka The Beast) face off against American fighter Andrew Tabiti (also nicknamed The Beast) in a fierce contest for the WBC Africa Bridgerweight Title—a bout that has sparked major excitement among fans.
Another fan-favorite clash features Abubakar Kamoko (aka Bukom Tilapia), son of the legendary Bukom Banku, who will take on Stephen Ackon in a bout that promises energy, power, and passion.
With ten thrilling bouts lined up, this fight night is curated by former world champion Amir Khan in collaboration with Legacy Rise Sports Promotions.
Before the punches fly, fans will get a chance to see their favorite fighters up close during the official weigh-in and public appearance at Bukom Square Park on Thursday at 5 PM.
All roads lead to Bukom Boxing Arena on Friday, June 13. Organizers have assured fans of a spectacular night filled with action, excitement, and unforgettable boxing moments.
