A near brawl erupted between veteran boxer Michael “Ayittey Powers” Okine and UK-based Ghanaian boxer Seth “Freezy MacBones” Gyimah at the Bukom Boxing Arena last Saturday, following Gyimah’s fourth-round knockout victory over Ibrahim Labaran.

Tensions flared when the ring announcer asked Gyimah if he was ready to face the seasoned Ayittey Powers. Gyimah, buoyed by his recent win, confidently responded while glaring at Powers. This led to a heated exchange, resulting in shoving and pushing before security intervened to prevent a full-scale brawl.

In an interview with Graphic Sports after the incident, the 44-year-old Powers, who holds a professional record of 22 wins, 25 losses, and 1 draw from 48 bouts, vowed to teach Gyimah a lesson.

“I will put this guy where he belongs. He thinks I am a pushover, that I am one of those boxers who easily falls to his weak punches,” Powers declared.

Despite his current focus on promotional engagements, Powers announced his readiness to train hard for a bout against Gyimah in the light heavyweight division. He emphasized his stature in Ghanaian boxing alongside Bukom Banku and Batie Samir.

“Banku, myself, and Batie Samir are the three pillars in our division. He has defeated none of us, so he can’t call himself a champion,” Powers stated.

Powers called on promoters and sponsors to arrange the fight, promising to reignite his formidable punching power to defeat Gyimah. “This fight must happen to stop this nonsense from this boy,” the veteran boxer asserted.

Gyimah, aged 34, with an unblemished professional record of 4 wins, remained undeterred by the confrontation. His recent victory at Bukom Boxing Arena further solidified his rising status in the boxing world.
