BEST OF BUKOM

On August 23rd, Bishop Boxing Promotions will launch its debut event, Best of Bukom, at the iconic Bukom Boxing Arena—an electrifying night aimed at placing Ghana on the global boxing map. Backed by newly enstooled Development Chief Nana Ekow Amu I (formerly U.S. promoter Dave Bishop), the event seeks to position Ghana as Africa’s boxing capital and a magnet for investment in the $7 billion global boxing industry.

“Ghana has the raw talent to lead the world in boxing,” Bishop said. “We’re here to grow the sport, empower fighters, and drive long-term foreign investment.” With 47 years of U.S. entertainment experience, Bishop brings a bold vision to uplift Ghanaian boxing through world-class production and grassroots development.

Untapped Potential in a Boxing Nation Ghana has long been home to some of boxing’s greatest champions. From Azumah Nelson to Ike Quartey, the country has produced world-class talent. The Bukom neighborhood in Accra is especially known for its fierce fighters and rich boxing heritage. Yet, many of Ghana’s most promising athletes have historically lacked the resources and visibility needed to break into global markets.

Bishop Boxing Promotions aims to change that by introducing a sustainable, globally connected platform that not only nurtures local talent but also attracts international media, investors, and fans to Ghana. Future Champions Take the Stage The Best of Bukom fight card packs a thrilling blend of elite contenders and rising stars, spotlighting the best of Bukom and West African boxing talent. Leading the night is Sampson Segbedzi, Ghana’s national welterweight champion, defending his title against the formidable Habib Giwa. Fans will also witness the return of Joseph “Jaguar” Commey, fresh off a historic debut title win, now challenging Victor Kuwornu for the national lightweight crown. Local favorite Bernard “Kenya” Abbey looks to redeem himself on home turf against Nigeria’s in-form Sunday Adeleye in a cross-border clash. The undercard features standout talents like Stephen Coffie, Clinton “The President” Nana Adjei, and Godson Amuzu, all eager to shine on this major stage.

Top-pairings such as Allotey vs. Klaklevi, Clinton vs. Chicozie, and Coffie vs. Kesse promise an unforgettable mix of power, speed, and skill. This stacked lineup not only delivers excitement—it marks a turning point in Ghana’s boxing resurgence, positioning the nation as a force on the global stage.

Economic Impact and Global Reach Boxing generates billions annually through sponsorships, broadcasting rights, endorsements, merchandise, and tourism. Ghana—strategically located, culturally rich, and full of raw talent—is uniquely positioned to tap into this boom.

Best of Bukom could become a catalyst for: • Tourism growth, as fans travel to Accra for future events • Youth employment, through boxing academies, training, and local production • Foreign direct investment, as global brands and promoters enter the market With ticket prices starting at just 30 GHS, the event is designed to be inclusive, ensuring a vibrant local fanbase while streaming live at BBPPAYPERVIEW.COM for global access.
