Streetwise Management, a boxing management and promotions company has signed 18 year old young Ghanaian boxer, Africanus Neequaye of Labone SHS.
According to Mr. Achiebald Nii Martei Armah, director of Prince DeHenry Educational Complex and the local manager of Neequaye, a rising star of the James Town Boxing Gym, both parties have agreed on the deal, and they are hoping for a successful future of the boxer.

I’d like to thank my PA in Ghana @j_wise21 for his hard work in helping putting this deal together along with The head of @princedehenryedu, @realinnovations2009 . Africanus will be finishing his schooling there before putting his full focus into his professional boxing career.
