Over the weekend, the Bukom Boxing Arena was filled with boxing fans for the 4th Fight Night of the DeLuxy Professional Boxing League.
The jubilant crowd was very excited with the bout lineups and parings. However, the biggest winners of the night was the Akotoku Boxing Academy who recorded their first official win of the tournament so far.
Akotoku Boxing Academy is one of the oldest clubs in Ghana. The club has been in existence for over half a decade.
Akotoku Boxing Academy has produced several champions including Azumah Nelson, D.K. Poison and Alfred Kotey. However, since the inception of the new Professional Boxing League, the club is yet to find its shine.
The club started the league going up against Attoh Quarshie Boxing Club. In a match-up that was described by many as a mismatch, debutant Isaac Taylor came up against former WBO Africa Super-bantamweight champion Isaac Sackey. The determined first timer lost on points.
