Takyi who turns 21 on December 23 has signed a managerial and promotional contract with Bazooka Promotions, a syndicate owned by boxing legend Ike Quartey.

 

He told the media he was ready to kick-start his pro journey to become a future world champion.

 

“If everything goes as planned, I will make my professional debut next month under Ike Quartey. I am glad I made that choice because I believe he has what it takes to lead me to where I want to be in the future,” said Takyi.

 

The former World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight champion Ike Quartey is expected to coach the ‘Ring Warrior’ and lead him to become a super star.
