The Trust Sports Emporium was the venue on Tuesday 15th December 2020 when Winbase Promotions completed the signing of two boxers namely lightweight Benjamin “Daddy Lumba” Lamptey and flyweight Mohammed “The Golden Boy” Aryeetey.
Lamptey, 32 has a record of 15 fights, 10 victories, 4 defeats and one draw. All his 4 defeats came in his last 4 bouts meaning that he is currently in poor form and it doesn’t seem like he would be a good investment but CEO of Winbase Promotions, Edwin Evans Jnr, believes the lightweight will come good.
“Daddy Lumba is a great boxer he’s had a lot of experience in the national amateur boxing team which is the Black Bombers and we’ve seen his performance against Sherrif Quaye [19-2, 12 KOs], even though the outcome was debatable, we were still very highly impressed with the show that he put forth.”
“We feel signing him would add onto our team, help project Winbase Promotions and also help take his career to the next level by giving him the push that we feel he needs to get a National title, an African title and ultimately a World title.”
Mohammed Aryeetey has also signed his first-ever professional contract with Winbase Promotions. The 17-year-old has been making waves on the Ghana amateur scene, even being adjudged the best boxer in the elite category of the second edition of the McDan Boxing Series back in 2019.
“Mohammed Aryeetey has been an outstanding amateur boxer over the past years, in fact, he has grown from a very skilful juvenile boxer up until the amateur stages. He is actually a member of the Black Bombers and he is one of the top contenders within that team.”
“With the wealth of talent he possesses and how he has distinguished himself among his peers, the team felt it was the right time for us to take up other challenges and this translates into us moving him into the professional space in anticipation that he would also give a good account of himself and dominate.” Edwin stated
Both boxers are confident after signing for Winbase Promotions with Lamptey revealing that he is confident of challenging for titles under the promotion’s banner “With my new manager, I know what he can do for me, so I’d like to thank him a lot for signing me and maybe from next year going they will see a different Daddy Lumba, they will hear Daddy Lumba’s name and maybe things will change.”
Mohammed Ayreetey aka Golden Boy said “I started boxing at a very early age and my focus is to win a world title. He thanked the CEO of Winbase Promotions for believing in him.
