National Welterweight Champion Sampson Segbedzi has sent a bold message to all contenders in Ghana and Africa, expressing his readiness to defend his titles against anyone who brings competitive and lucrative offers.

In an exclusive interview with Sammy Heywood Okine at The Gym in Accra, the rising star from Ashaiman emphasized the dangers of boxing and the need for athletes to be adequately compensated for their skill, effort, and talent.

“I am very expensive, and these titles were earned with significant investment. Boxing is big business for me, and I’m open to any promoter who values quality and wants to stage a great show,” Segbedzi stated.

The undefeated champion (9-0-0) currently holds the National Welterweight title, the UBO Africa Welterweight belt, and the PST Tanzania title. A proud native of Kpa Kpa in Adidome, Volta Region, Segbedzi aspires to become an African and World Champion, drawing inspiration from his idol Floyd Mayweather.

Beyond boxing, Segbedzi enjoys football, with Christian Ronaldo as his favorite player, and he spends his free time playing pool football and listening to music by Stonebwoy, a fellow Ashaiman native.

Known as “Mama’s Boy,” he takes pride in his resilience and determination, crediting his coaches, Nii Gonti Adjor 1 (Nii Adama Addy) and Laryea (Lion), as well as his manager, Mr. Albert Ayeebo of Wintuma Enterprise, for their exceptional guidance and support.

Segbedzi expressed gratitude to the chiefs, elders, and people of Adidome for their unwavering support, as well as his hometown Ashaiman for embracing him as their champion.

He also called for reforms in Ghana boxing, advocating for transparency, credible rankings, and improved remuneration for boxers, trainers, and officials.
