Wasiru Mohammed (9-0, 8 KOs) recorded a controversial round 3 stoppage of Isaac Sackey (22-1-1, 19 KOs) to claim the latter’s WBO Africa super bantamweight title.
The fight which came off at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday ended on a sad note after Beninois referee, Adom Betin waived off the fight after Wasiru scored a knockdown with a powerful right.
The referee’s call angered the fans of Sackey as they jumped into the ring to question the referee.
For Sackey’s fans, they feel their boxer has been robbed and they took the law into their hands as they destroyed properties at the venue.
Many boxing luminaries didn’t agree with the referee’s call but it is unclear whether the fight would be declared a no contest.
Prior to the fight, the two boxers were undefeated but at the end of the day, it was Wasiru who marinated his unblemished record and took the WBO Africa super bantamweight.
The card was put together by E&J Promotions.
