Ghana's Middleweight boxer is the last man standing for the nation and Africa at the innovative WBC Grand Prix going on in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

He is also rated among the top ten boxers by BoxinGhana -Pound for Pound.

Last week the 2020 Tokyo Olympian was in the ring, but he did not fight, however he got his qualification medal and got the opportunity to present a medal to an opponent in his weight class.

Speaking to Yours Truly in an exclusive interview at the Bukom Boxing Arena on his return to Accra, The 'Sharp Shooter' as he is known expressed satisfaction and joy over where he has reached by representing at the WBC event.

He disclosed that as an alternative opponent he has the chance to fight if any of the qualified boxers get injured or fail to report.

According to Samed, he is very glad to be in the show because it has really exposed him to meet the big men at WBC and also been offered an insurance package worth $100,00 through the Grand Prix programme.

"I have the chance of fighting a WBC Championship if I perform well, so the exposure and experience is massive. Indeed I am most grateful to Dr. Addae Opoku Amoako of Ace Power Promotions and my manager Edwin Theo Addo, CEO of Akotoku Academy for supporting my dream. I also thank my coaches for guiding me through" he said.

Shakul praised God as he was robbed and the verdict as overturned in his first fight, so that lesson made him perform better in his subsequent bouts.

His senior brother Bastie Samir,  the original Beast of Ghana Boxing also spoke to Yours Truly and he assured his fans of a grand comeback.

The former sparring partner of Floyd Mayweather hinted that he is still training and not hanged his gloves.

"I will return big and massively at the right time" he stated.
