Best boxing promoters, Mr. Alex Ntiamoah Bpoakye’s Box Office Promotions did a marvelous work on Sunday to ensure a splendid international package on Sunday November 24, 2024 at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
With two previous promotions going bad on Friday and Saturday, Box Office were in doubt if people will patronize their event.
However it lived to its billing as boxing fans defied all odds including rains on Friday and security, poor arrangements / mismanagement on Saturday to put up another entertaining event.
The main bout between Richmond Ashelley and Joseph Commey could pass to be Fight of the Year as both boxers put out a great performance. Though Commey won on points, Ashelley displayed amazing boxing as they clashed for the UBO Africa Lightweight Championship.
