Theophilus Allotey marks his professional debut with a decisive victory
Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey representing the Wisdom Boxing Gym won his first professional bout on Saturday evening at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
He fought on the Ghana Professional Boxing League bill.
His opponent, Isaac Adu Manti could not end the scheduled rounds as he decided to quit when the fight was heating up.
Allotey told the crowd watching that he will win a world title for Ghana.
His trainer, Coach Dr Ofori Asare was very confident of victory and promised to support him to realise his dream.
Theo Allotey 22, was the only bronze medalist at the African Olympic Qualifier in Dakar. Senegal.
He won another bronze at the 13th African Games which Ghana hosted.
He could not succeed at the world Olympic qualifiers in Italy and Thailand so he turned professional which his administrator at the Wisdom Gym, Miss Sarah Lotus Asare believes he can make it.
Sarah Asare who is Ghana’s first and only female match maker believes Theo did well at the Amateur level and will shine as a Professional.
Blow Chem Industries’ Bel 7Star energy drink have signed a partnership deal with the Ghana Boxing Authority to become headline sponsors of the professional league.
The championship will now be called Bel 7Star Boxing Professional League
