Braimah Kamako aka Bukom Banku who calls himself a senior boxer so should be treated with respect says his idol Shatta Wale will pay the debt he is owing in boxing circles that people want to use to tarnish his image and reputation.
According to Banku, he is preparing to fly out to America to defend his WBO Cruiserweight title, and no one can put impediments on his road to realize his dream as one of the finest boxers from Africa.
He expressed that Shatta Wale will pay the 17,000 easily and he will be free to continue his boxing career.
He urged all his fans to remain calm, as the case would soon be settled amicably for Ghana Boxing to move on.
Bukom Banku was scheduled to fight Bastie Samir for the second time after his first defeat as agreed by both parties, payment exchanged hands subsequently but the latter refused fighting Bastie Samir which compelled the promoter in question, Alex Ntiamoah-Boakye of Box Office Sports Promotions to seek redress from the Authority.
Banku and Bastie Samir signed a contract to fight each other in a rematch on June 20, 2018. This followed a well-publicized cruiserweight bout that saw Samir overcome Banku with a seventh-round TKO at the Bukom Boxing Arena on October 21, 2017. The win was significant for Samir, an Olympian, considering that it was Banku’s only loss in his professional career.
