Shakul Samed was robbed in Tanzania despite dominating local favourite Richard Mtangi who retained the World Boxing Organization-WBO Africa middleweight title – Thursday night in Dar-Es-Salaam on July 30, 2026.
Samed who represented Ghana at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan came out boldly after the bout and expressed his disappointment about the results which he did not understand and agree with, so he called for a rematch.
His trainer Elvis Robertson of the famous Akotoku Academy was also disappointed because they really prepared and wanted the title to prove a point.
Tanzanian Ibrahim Mafia also edged Samuel Martei Laryea on points to win the WBC international super bantamweight title at the Super Dome grounds, Masaki Dar es Salaam Tanzania.
In the corner of Laryea was Coach George Smart Abbey of the Accra Boxing Club based at Korle Gonno beach.
He said it was another experience and they have learnt their lessons.
He hoped that Tanzania boxers will also come to Ghana to suffer the same fate.
Meanwhile some boxing fans, including former world champion Joshua Clottey have warned Ghanaian boxers to beware of Tanzania boxing promoters.
