The member of parliament of the Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong in an interview revealed how Azumah Nelson’s manager helped him to buy his first house.
The Assin Dompim born MP explained how he first met the manager of the former world champion, Mr. Asa
“’Azumah came to fight, there was a liquor store on the 114 Lennox avenue. It’s called ‘Fred Wines and liquor’, it was for a Ghanaian. Most of the taxi drivers park there and rest when we are in Harlem. I went there and saw Azumah Nelson and his boss Mr. Asa and we started talking.”
He continued, “I said to him I have money for my mother, they have thrown them from their house and I don’t know how to get money to them.
“The man looked at me and my age [around 28yrs] when I said I had saved up twenty-four thousand dollars ($ 24,000). I gave him sixteen thousand dollars ($16,000) initially.”
“When you get to the ambassadorial enclave, the first street from that junction where you make a right turn to A&C mall, I connected water and electricity in 1998.
That was where Azumah Nelson’s manager bought a house for my parents.”
He was very sincere and honest, it was a boys’ quarters, he got it for twenty-four thousand dollars ($ 24,000) because I told him I saved that amount and I sent him the remaining eight thousand ($8,000). I bought my first house in Ghana on April 17th, 1988’’ Kennedy Agyapong narrated.
You may be wondering “why this story?”, the MP’s story reveals who The Professor’s manager was, “Sincere and Honest” and I believe it’s huge step in becoming great with such a manager. The rest has been history worth celebrating for the Boxing Hall of Famer, Azumah “The Professor” Nelson.
Rising champions of the sweet science are hereby adviced when choosing their team members in quest to make themselves and mother Ghana proud.
