The boxer fans call Africa,  Africanus Neequaye gave boxing fans something to cheer about at the Bukom Boxing Arena on January 1, 2026 before recording a round 7 TKO against Daniel Quaye of the Bronx Boxing Gym to become the New National Lightweight Champion.

The pride of the Jamestown Boxing Gym Africanus Neequaye delivered a sweet victory to a partisan crowd with precision as reduced Daniel Quaye to hit at will.

Neequaye who is 20 years old and a past student of Prince de Henry Educational Complex and LaboneSHS (10-0, 7KOs), put up a beautiful combination of punches to the body and head of Quaye in all 6 round.

Daniel Quaye (9-2-1, 9KOs) is not in the class of Neequaye who fired nicely in round 6 with beautiful and clinical combinations of punches hurting Quaye several times in admiration of the crowd. Daniel Quaye did not come for round 7, and referee David Mills had to wave to call the end of the bout.

Black Panthers hero, Michael Abban 20 also dispatched Kizato of Tanzania to win the WBA Pan and Commonwealth Silver Super Flyweight title

Michael Abban stopped his opponent Mushin Kizato in R3 after dishing out quick power punches to body.

Abban (13-1, 8KOs), improved in record as he inched closer to the Commonwealth title. Congratulations to coach Eben Adjei and the team.

In the special amateur bout, Mathias Ashitey of Black Panthers proved why he is the SWAG Best boxer when he beat Caleb Mensah of Wisdom Gym.
