The Bukom Boxing Arena was the action spot last Sunday as Sharaf Mahama and his Foundation staged the Legacy Rise Boxing event to thank fans who voted for the NDC to return to power.
Present at the well-attended programme was President-elect HE John Dramani Mahama, who was the special guest.
The boxers who stole the show with impressive wins include Musah Lawson aka Awoodade, Cann Neequaye, Samuel Takyi the Ring Warrior, Kevin Carter, Ashanti Warrior Stanley Nyantekyi and Abu Kamoko aka Bukom Tilapia.
In the surprise bout of the night, Ahmed Abdullah (8-0, 7KOs) dropped Armed Forces Sergeant Bawa three times before stopping him in the seventh round.
Many fans expected David Bawa Akankolin (4-1, 3KOs) to put up a better performance, but he disappointed his fans.
CEO of Legacy Rise Sports, Sharaf Mahama thanked all the guests who attended the free show, including former WBC champion Prof. Azumah Nelson, former IBF champion Joshua Clottey, Hon Kotey Ashie MP-elect of Odododiodoo, Davido and others.
Legacy Rise Sports presented ‘A Night of Ultimate Legacy’ – an unforgettable evening where Ghana’s top boxing talent took centre stage at the iconic Bukom Arena.
HE John Dramani Mahama promised to complete the Bukom Boxing Arena and hoped that Ghana will win more medals at international sports competitions.
“We love football but football is not the only sport, we will recapture boxing’s glory days…”. President-elect of Ghana John Dramani Mahama said at the Ultimate Legacy boxing night at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra
After the interesting competition and electrifying moments, there was a huge celebration with fireworks and music.
