The Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra will be the centre of action on Friday, September 19, 2025, when the Global Warrior Champions stage their latest international Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) event.
The fight night was officially unveiled on Thursday at a press conference and ceremonial weigh-in held at Decathlon Sports Shop, Accra Mall. The card features fighters from Ghana, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire, with officials flying in from both Ghana and the United States.
Headlining the evening is a much-anticipated middleweight title clash between Ghana’s Emmanuel Lamptey and Nigeria’s Ben Bazi. Lamptey vowed to defend the belt on home soil, while Bazi expressed confidence in securing victory.
Another standout bout is the grudge match between Selorm Darko and Edmund Akator, dubbed “Revenge or Repeat”. The two previously clashed in a contest that ended with controversy, making the rematch a fan favourite.
The undercard will feature: Kone Memon (Côte d’Ivoire) vs. Afognon John Kennedy (Ghana), Richard Asiedu (Ghana) vs. Felix Okoria (Nigeria), Mensah Aka Prince (Ghana) vs. Akim Chukwebuka (Nigeria) and William Adom Nortey (Ghana) vs. Sadiq Mohammed (Nigeria)
Nortey, a gold medalist at the 2023 African Games who once sparred with Ghanaian hip-life pioneer Reggie Rockstone in an exhibition, reflected on how MMA has brought him “respect, recognition, and opportunities.” He thanked Jeff Taylor and the Ghana Mixed Martial Arts Federation for their continuous support.
Tickets are priced at ₵50 for the Popular Stand, ₵200 for VIP, and ₵2,000 per table for ringside packages with special gifts. Fans can purchase tickets by dialling 365881000#.
Beyond the octagon, fans will be treated to live entertainment, with the “Grandpapa of Hiplife” Reggie Rockstone headlining alongside other top musicians and comedians.
