Ernest Akushey burial date fixed for December 6
The late popular jovial boxer, Ernest Akushey aka Bahubali has been fixed for December 5 6 and 7 at Chorkor Tea Garden.
Promoter of his last bout Mr. Eddie Coleman of SEM Promotions confirmed to Yours Truly in a chat over the weekend.
According to Coleman, the late Bahubali may not be the best or most exciting boxer, but he has proved to be one of the most admired boxers and he must get a fitting burial.
He advised and cautioned all mourners to behave themselves at the funeral as he expects a huge attendance.
He said the three health walks organised in his memory were well attended and he anticipates a mass gathering at the funeral.
Meanwhile, Mr Archiebald NII Martei Armah of Prince De Henry Educational Complex at Lartebiokoshie in Accra has promised to offer the son of the late Bahubali free education when he attains school going age.
The popular school has produced boxers like Africanus Neequaye, Micheal Abban, Samuel Plange and Prince The Buzz Larbie.
Bahubali lost his life a few days after clashing with former cruiserweight champion Jacob Dickson at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
The people of Chorkor have also vowed to give their hero a fitting burial.
