Ghanaian female fighter Yakor Chavez Annan has vowed to beat up boxing promoter Sam Nortey whenever she comes face to face to him.

Chavez, who was recently enstooled queen mother with the stool name Naa Yaoley Atsiabroni at the Adjen Kotoku Nii Tsuru Manhya in Accra made this revelation in an interview on Asempa FM’s SportsNite.

According to her, she was exploited by the local promoter when she fought in the colds of London and Australia.

“I fought about 7 international bouts in London and Australia but all he ever gave me was 15 pounds,” Chavez revealed.

“When the BBC contacted me for a documentary, he took everything that was meant for me and never gave me a penny from whatever came in from my appearances.

“I fought 7 times internationally and he took all the money,” she added.

Yakor Chavez Annan proceeded by threatening to beat promoter Sam Nortey  whenever she comes across him.

“I’ve heard that he has come to Ghana and anywhere I meet him I will beat him up to a pulp.

“There was even a time that I worked hard on my own to earn 2000 pounds but he seized the money from me. He seized my passport and other documents and never gave them to me until the day I was heading back to Ghana,” she revealed.

“Very soon I will take off my queen mother regalia, put everything aside and return to the ring to box again because boxing is my only way of feeding. It is the profession I learnt growing up but my queen mother role has placed a limitation on that but I will return soon,” she told Prof. Wallace on the SportsNite show.

In her 26 boxing bouts, Chavez has picked 12 wins, drawn 6, and lost 8 in the Super Banter Weight division.
