Ghana's Olympic medalist, Samuel Takyi began his first professional bout on a good note as he earned a Round Two Technical Knockout (TKO) over his opponent Kamarudeen Boyefio on Good Friday, April 15, 2022, at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
The victory set the place agog as fans of Samuel Takyi jubilated over the victory.
The stoppage of the bout in the second round did not go down well with Boyefio and his camp as they claimed he was still strong to fight after series of unrelenting hefty blows from Samuel Takyi.
This infuriated Boyefio, who did not wait for the declaration of Samuel Takyi as the winner, thereby walking out of the ring to the dressing room.
It took the interventions of the Chief Executive of Officer of Bazooka Boxing Promotions, Ike Quartey, and other executives of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) to calm Boyefio’s camp down before he could walk off the ring to the dressing room.
After winning Ghana’s first Olympic medal in any sport in 29 years at Tokyo 2020, boxer Samuel Takyi announced his intention to end his amateur career and turn professional.
Takyi won men’s featherweight Bronze in Tokyo by reaching the semi-finals, where he lost to eventual silver medallist Duke Ragan of USA.
