Joseph Sackey was clad in blue shorts adorned with the pastor’s image
Founder and General Overseer of Believers Worship Center, Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, has finally met Ghanaian boxer Joseph Sackey, who wore shorts bearing the image of the church leader during his bout against a Pakistani boxer.
Joseph Sackey became the talk of social media on June 14, 2025, after losing his bout against Abdul Khan at the “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event.
However, it wasn’t just his defeat that got people talking- it had a lot to do with what he was wearing.
Sackey stepped into the ring wearing blue shorts with a sticker showing the face of Adom Kyei-Duah, the General Overseer of Believers Worship Center.
In a video that has since gone viral, Adom Kyei-Duah said to his congregation that “He’s not a member of the Philadelphia family but he has massive love for me, that is why he placed my sticker on his shorts.”
He noted that because of the gesture of the boxer towards him, he also loves him.
Sackey’s decision to wear Adom Kyei-Duah’s sticker on his shorts was seen as a show of spiritual preparedness for the match but did not reflect in the outcome of the bout.
Sackey blamed the referee for his defeat, claiming he tripped and the fight was stopped prematurely.
The incident has since sparked mixed reactions online with some praising Adom Kyei-Duah’s gesture while others questioned his motives.
