    Bukom, a suburb of Accra, came alive on Friday, June 13, 2025, as global legends in the boxing fraternity and prominent personalities gathered at the Bukom Boxing Arena for the ‘Battle of the Beasts’ event.

    The event was organised by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Legacy Rise Sport, Sharaf Mahama, in collaboration with Amir Khan Promotion.

    The night saw numerous renowned politicians, musicians, actresses, and other notable figures who were present to honor the occasion, as the arena was filled to capacity.

    Bouts that took place

    The main bout, the African Bridgerweight title, did not live up to the billing, as the match ended in the fourth round.

    Ghana’s Jacob Dickson seemed to lack the stamina, as he kept falling when he received heavy punches from his American opponent, Andrew Tabiti.

    The American boxer took advantage of Dickson’s frailty and kept punching heavily and eventually knocked him out in the fourth round.

    On the African Bantamweight title, Theophilus Allotey floored his opponent, Daniel Gosh, in a keenly contested bout.

    After 12 rounds, Allotey was adjudged the winner, scoring 110-111, 118-110, and 110-118, all in favour of the Ghanaian boxer.

    Bukom Banku’s son, Abu Kamoko, well known as Ambitious Tilapia, won his Lightweight match against Stephen Ackon after six rounds.

    The three judges scored in Tilapia’s favour, 60-53, 60-54, and 60-54, in a unanimous decision.

    Other bouts took place, where Amir Khan’s promotion boxers competed, fairly winning some and losing others.

    Personalities who graced the occasion:

    British boxer Anthony Joshua and the legendary Azumah Nelson were also in attendance.

    Several prominent personalities were present, including Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams; National Sports Authority (NSA) boss, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah; Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku, to mention a few.

    In the political space, business mogul Ibrahim Mahama was present to support his nephew, along with other politicians , including Ketu North MP, Edem Agbana.

    Other attendees included Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Despite Media, Osei Kwame Despite; Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong; and members of the East Legon Executive Fitness Club.

    Celebrities who were present included D-Black, Fella Makafui, Kofi Kinaata, Kojo Blak and TGMA Artiste of the Year, King Promise who later delivered a top performance.

    Fans enthusiasm

    The 4,000-capacity Bukom Boxing Arena was filled to capacity, as fans thronged the facility to rally behind their favourite boxers as they battled for supremacy.

    The fans kept chanting and singing local ‘jama’ song to charge up the atmosphere throughout the night.
