John Zile, the new UBO International Super Bantamweight Champion, known as “The Monster,” has declared that his best performances in the ring are yet to come.

“I have not been tested, and so far, my opponents give up too early when I want to continue and entertain the fans,” Zile stated during an appearance on Omashi TV’s live sports show, ‘The Big Fight Night.’ He expressed his ambition to win a world title, aiming to achieve even greater success in his boxing career.

Zile, who attended Tuabodom SHS, initially aspired to become a lawyer. Recognizing his talent in sports, he first turned to football, which led him to Accra, where he joined Charity Stars at Bubuashie. However, after being benched by his football coach, he shifted his focus to boxing, seeing a brighter future in the sport. “I saw that my future in football was bleak, so I decided to become a boxer,” he said.

Undefeated with a record of 15 bouts and two draws, Zile credits his inspiration to box to Isaac “The Royal Storm” Dogboe, which led him to join the Beach Boxing Gym. He later met Mr. Gordon Frimpong of Osibor Management & Promotions, who introduced him to the Bronx Boxing Gym in James Town. Since then, Zile’s life has transformed, and he has won two titles, the LBO and UBO titles.

He expressed gratitude to the Osibor team, Coach Carl Lokko, and the media for their support in promoting his career. Zile described his fight against Bismark Saah, which was declared a draw, as his best bout to date. “I know I won that fight and wish we could do it again to determine the true winner,” he expressed.

Zile believes that Ghanaian boxing is not thriving as it did during the days of former champions like his idol, Azumah Nelson, and called for more government investment in the sport. He also expressed disappointment that the Black Bombers are not participating in the Olympic Games and encouraged them to train hard for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
