A Nigerian female boxer based in Ashaiman, Accra, wanted to come into the ring when world-famous social media streamer Iso Speed came to Bukom to showcase his boxing skills.
She just wants Ghanaians to see that she is a good boxer, and no doubt she displayed on the Legacy Rise Sports bill.
Chiamaka Jill Whyte Nwaturuocha has been training with the Ghana National female boxing team at the Accra Sports Stadium.
She also engages in her personal training at the Fit Trip Gym and sometimes, the Bukom Boxing Gym and other gyms to feel the surface and thickness or softness of Ghana Boxing.
In fact, she was so excited to grab the opportunity when Ivanusa Moreira from Cape Verde failed her medical test for the ‘Rise Continues’ bill.
Chiamaka said she had to show her worth, strength,h and skill, ls which she did with passion and style.
She danced well to the ring and performed remarkably well because she got the invitation just a day before the bout.
According to Chiamaka, she loves Accra, Ghana, and would love to make a name here.
“I know Bukom is the Mecca of Boxing in Africa, and I am very happy to come here to showcase my talent and also fight on one of the biggest stages to be hosted by Legacy Rise Sports Promotions, owned by Sharaf Mahama, son of President John Dramani Mahama of Ghana.
Her record is now 4-2-0, having lost twice to Sedem Ama and failing to grab the WBA Africa Super Welterweight title. The first fight was at the Legon UG Sports Stadium, ‘The Showdown’.
