Ghanaian Olympic bronze featherweight boxing medalist, Samuel Takyi is set to feature in his first professional boxing fight.

Takyi in action

The 21-yr old who turned professional recently will face Cameroonian, Kamarudeen Boyefio at the Accra City Hotel on Friday, 15th April, 2022.

Boyefio, 34, has won 11 of his 21 fights and lost nine, and would be hoping to stop the young Ghanaian who is hungry for a debut pro glory.

The much-hyped fight is sponsored by the Bazooka Boxing Promotion outfit who signed Takyi onto it's platform recently.

However, the two boxers have been engaged in a verbal war ahead of the fight with the latest coming from the young Ghanaian Olympic champion.


The fight will be aired on approved stations across the country and the continent.
