Bishop Boxing Promotions pays boxers well – Promoter Dave on why boxers love to fight on his bill

David Bishop, founder and CEO of Bishop Boxing Promotions says they pay boxers well that is why everyone wants to be on their shows.

Speaking to Yours Truly in an exclusive chat, he said Ghana Boxing has taught him a lot.

He was happy that Ghana has many good boxers but some of the people behind the game have not been sincere.

He promised that he is ready and prepared to take boxing to the level that many people want as he is coming from the United States where boxing is big.

He has initiated a lot of concepts and programmes coming up like an Awards Night to honour distinguished boxing personalities and a course for boxers to improve their education as well as matchmakers and card girls recruitment.

The next editions of Best of Bukom 3 and 4 are going to be super as he said because it would coincide with his birthday.

After putting up amazing events, Bishop Boxing wants to raise the bar in events organisation and coming up with mouth watering bills.

On May 8, one of the bouts that many people want to see is Sampson Segbedzi versus Henry Malm.

It headlines a show that both boxers have bragged for a long time  and now it is time for action.

Their records are very good and they can pull the big crowds.

It is going to be Bukom versus Ashiamam and the fans will have much to cheer about

Henry “Assassin Junior” Malm is undefeated as a pro with a record of 11-0-0, (10 KOs). Sampson Segbedzi has one lose at 10-1-0, (7 KOs).

There are other crack fighters and pairings on the bill like Wasiru Mohammed versus Charles Tetteh, Felix Akom versus John Quaye, Kofi Dana versus Musah Lawson and Majeed Yakubu versus Ghislain Vodounhessi of Benin.

Meanwhile, news has been confirmed that Bishop Promotions has terminated their contract with WBO Africa Lightweight champion Faisal Abubakar.
