A Ghanaian boxer’s bid to blend faith and fight fell short at the highly anticipated “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event held in Bukom.
Joseph Sackey, an undercard fighter on the bill curated by Sharaf Mahama in partnership with Amir Khan Promotions, drew attention for both his performance and his attire.
Many followers believed the emblem would bring Sackey miraculous protection and favor, leading them to expect an easy win. But the ring told a different story. Sackey faced off against Abdul Khan, who dominated the bout with calm composure and aggressive precision.
By the fifth round, Khan’s pressure proved too much, and Sackey’s defenses began to crumble. Sackey was overwhelmed, leading to a mid-round stoppage, as reported by Fight Talk Africa.
Despite the spiritual backup on his gear, Sackey couldn’t withstand the physical reality inside the ropes.
