Braimah Kamoko, former cruiserweight champion, holds firm belief in his son, Abubakar Kamoko, aka ‘Tilapia,’ aspiring to become a world champion in boxing.

Following Tilapia’s recent silver medal win at the African Games, surpassing his father’s achievement of a bronze medal in 1999, Braimah Kamoko is optimistic about his son’s prospects.

Reflecting on Tilapia’s performance, Braimah expressed confidence in his son’s capabilities, attributing his potential success to both his own legacy and the guidance of a capable management team.

“Abu is a talented boxer, and his association with my name adds to his motivation. With the right support and management, I believe Abu can reach the pinnacle of boxing.”

Drawing from his extensive boxing career, Braimah emphasized the importance of hard work and discipline in achieving boxing success.

“There’s no shortcut in boxing; hard work is key. Abu needs to dedicate himself to rigorous training, listen to his coach, and maintain focus. Avoiding distractions like women and alcohol is crucial; they can derail a boxer’s career.”

At just 19 years old, Abubakar Kamoko is poised to represent Ghana at the upcoming Boxing Olympic Qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand, from May 23rd to June 3rd, marking a significant step towards his aspirations in the sport.
