Priceless Life New WBO Africa Super Lightweight Champion Faisal Abubakari Receives New Title Belt
World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Africa Supervisor, Samir Captan, has presented a new WBO Africa Junior Welterweight championship belt to Ghanaian boxer, Faisal Abubakari.
The Ghanaian defeated his Ugandan opponent, Latibu Muwonge, in a 12-round title fight at the Lord’s Wembley Sports Complex at Shukura in Accra three weeks ago.
He received the old title after his victory but was promised a new junior welterweight crown at a later date.
The new champion received the belt from Mr Captan at a ceremony at the Opera Square in Accra on Tuesday, in the presence of the boxer’s supporters and manager / promoter, Edwin Elikem Amenyeawu, CEO of Priceless Life Entertainment.
31-year-old Faisal Abukakar promised to work his way to the WBO world title.
“I will win any title and the world title, I won’t let my promoter and manager down,” he told the media.
Mr Captan, the ace former boxing promoter and now WBO representative, advised Abubakari to be disciplined and work hard to achieve his target.
“In this sport, there are many ups and downs, so you have to be resolute and never give up,” Mr. Captan, a former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President expressed.
Mr Amenyeawu said his outfit had an elaborate plan to guide the boxer to reach his full potential and also sign up other budding talents.
“Faisal is the boxer we have now but we are going to sign more boxers this week, we want to revolutionise boxing in the country,” he noted.
