Sole African olympic medalist during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics games in boxing, Samuel “Ring Warrior” Takyi has finally put to bed his amateur career where he fought 11 times winning 8 and losing 3.
In a brief statement issued by Takyi via his social media platforms, he said
“To all Ghanaians, it is with a heavy heart that I leave the amateur ranks and fully commit myself to my professional career. It has been a fantastic journey and I want to thank all who helped me along the way culminating in that historic time at the Tokyo Olympics where I won my beloved Ghana a Bronze medal. I would like to thank Alhaji Inusa, Alhaji Taufiq and The Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif for their support and to all my amateur coaches including the Head coach of the Black Bombers, Coach Asare without whom I would not have achieved so much success, I hope now to have the same success in the professional ranks and bring another world champion home to Ghana, God bless you all!!!” The statement ended.
After the announcement, the Olympic medalist broke another news today that he has now signed with Streetwise Management, an International Boxing Management bankrolled by the top notch Ghanaian manager Michael Amoo-Bediako Snr.
“Excited to join forces with Streetwise Management! Big dreams, bigger moves. Let’s write the next chapter together.
