The date holds special significance\u2014it marks exactly 21 years since Nelson became the first African boxer to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event is being organised by Legacy Rise Sports Promotions, led by Sharaf Mahama, in collaboration with Amir Khan Promotions, owned by former unified world champion and WBC ambassador, Amir Khan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"456\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/117939642_3882602528422492_3026361529627889839_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/117939642_3882602528422492_3026361529627889839_n.jpg 456w, https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/117939642_3882602528422492_3026361529627889839_n-259x300.jpg 259w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azumah Nelson, now 66, will be honoured for his illustrious career and lasting impact on the sport. Fondly known as \u201cThe Professor,\u201d Nelson first etched his name in the annals of boxing history in December 1984, when he knocked out Wilfredo G\u00f3mez in Puerto Rico to win the WBC featherweight title. He defended that crown until 1988 before moving up to the super featherweight division, where he captured the world title twice and held it until 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His remarkable reign\u2014spanning over a decade as a world champion\u2014remains one of the most enduring achievements in African boxing history, and a benchmark few have approached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Legacy Celebrated<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognised as the greatest African boxer of all time, Azumah Nelson has consistently received accolades from the WBC. Since his 2004 induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame\u2014alongside legends such as Mike Tyson and Sylvester Stallone\u2014he has been honoured with several distinctions, including being named the WBC&#8217;s greatest super featherweight of all time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, the WBC further celebrated Nelson\u2019s legacy during his 60th birthday with the presentation of two honorary belts and a silver vase at a commemorative fight night in Accra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WBC\u2019s Year of Africa Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WBC\u2019s Year of Africa 2025 aims to celebrate the rich history, talent, and influence of African boxing. The initiative began in February with the inaugural ABU\/WBC Amateur Boxing Tournament in Lagos, Nigeria, which brought together emerging fighters from across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, the spotlight shifts to Accra for the June 13 event, which features the maiden WBC Africa bridgerweight championship. The headline bout pits Nigerian-American fighter Andrew \u201cThe Beast\u201d Tabiti against Ghana\u2019s former national cruiserweight champion Jacob \u201cThe Beast\u201d Dickson, in a clash that promises fireworks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event is not just about crowning new champions, but also about honouring the legends who laid the foundation\u2014and none stands taller among them than Azumah Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From Sammy Heywood Okine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghanaian boxing icon, Professor Azumah
