Founder and CEO of Wisdom Boxing Gym, Coach Dr. Ofori Asare, has expressed confidence that Haruna Mohammed, known as ‘Thunder,’ will retain his National Cruiserweight title against challenger Jacob Dickson on November 23 at Bukom Boxing Arena. The highly anticipated fight, dubbed the ‘Battle of the Beasts,’ promises an exciting showdown.

During an interview on Omashi TV’s “The Big Fight Night,” Dr. Asare praised former boxer Ayitey Powers for establishing a promotional outfit that supports boxers with competitive packages, calling it a positive initiative for Ghana’s boxing community. Dr. Asare, who is also the Technical Director of the Ghana Boxing Federation and the Black Bombers, encouraged greater recognition for national champions, as these titles are vital stepping stones toward international boxing success.

“We have our eyes on West African, African, Commonwealth, and eventually world titles. Haruna’s journey will be one of consistent growth, and this fight is an important milestone,” Dr. Asare emphasized.

Alongside Dr. Asare, bantamweight boxer Theophilus ‘Lopez’ Allotey, fresh off a training tour in the British Cayman Islands, expressed eagerness for the November 23 event. Allotey, who sharpened his skills in the Cayman Islands, is excited to showcase his progress against an as-yet-unnamed opponent.

The event will also feature a National Super Middleweight title rematch between Elvis Ahorgah, aka ‘Soldier Boxer,’ and Ernest Akushey, known as ‘Baubali.’ Additional bouts include matches with Daniel Ankrah and Stephen Coffie.
